Update on new mail translation engine testing to replace LACRALO mailing list translation
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Jan. 31, 2015

Jan. 31, 2015

As one of the chairs of the TTF, I had a Skype conference call with Josh Jenkins from ICANN and Silvia Vivanco from ICANN At-Large Staff on 30 January 2015 to discuss the next steps in the development and testing of the new translation engine that would replace the translation on the LACRALO mailing lists. Whilst Silvia and myself agreed that the new translation engine is better than the current LACRALO one, there are some showstopper issues that needs resolving before the new translation engine is deployed.The aim is for the new translation engine to be deployed to the LACRALO lists before the F2F meeting in Argentina once showstopper issues are resolved. Bug/Observation reports are being collected at https://community.icann.org/display/LACRALO/discussion-of-LACRALO-mailing-l… One outcome from the call that Josh Jenkins has already implemented is that the new transbot-en and new-transbot-es archives are now public: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/new-transbot-en/ http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/new-transbot-es/ This will allow for easier comparison of emails and to link to particular emails when identifying and reporting bugs on the wiki page for all to read. It would also aid in demoing the translation tool in future Technology Taskforce and LACRALO calls. Kind Regards, Dev Anand Teelucksingh Technology Taskforce chair

Twitter announces group direct messaging and video hosting service
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Jan. 27, 2015

Jan. 27, 2015

Via https://blog.twitter.com/2015/now-on-twitter-group-direct-messages-and-mobi… Converse with a group, privately "Private conversations on Twitter are a great complement to the largely public experience on the platform. You might prefer to read (or watch) Tweets but converse about them privately. You might want to continue a public conversation privately with a smaller group, or start one based on a Tweet you saw. Many of you use Direct Messages to reach the people and brands you’re only connected to on Twitter. Whatever the case may be, the ability to converse privately with groups gives you more options for how and with whom you communicate on Twitter. The group function lets you start conversations with any of your followers and they don’t all need to follow one another in order to chat. You can create a group in just a few taps. When you’re added to a group, you’ll get a notification." Capture, edit and share videos right from your Twitter app Tweets have been more than 140 characters for some time. The Twitter you experience today is rich and immersive, full of images, gifs, Vines, audio files and videos from some of the world’s most recognizable figures and brands. And starting today, everyone will soon be able to seamlessly capture, edit and share videos right from the Twitter app, too." -------- I wonder if this could work for us - the private group messaging means that social media wg members can work with Ariel privately without using tools like Slack for private messaging. There is still a need for tools like Social Sprout to allow for group members to more manage the At-Large Social Media acct during F2F meetings, though Dev Anand

Techcrunch: Atlassian Launches HipChat Server, Doubles Down On Team Collaboration
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Jan. 27, 2015

Jan. 27, 2015

Note : Atlassian are the makers of Confluence wiki software - the pro version offers video chat and there is support for Windows, Mac, Linux and iOS and Android devices and the Hipchat integrations include Confluence wiki Hipchat : https://www.hipchat.com/ "It’s been almost three years since Atlassian acquired HipChat and the product is now at the center of the company’s strategy as it doubles down on team collaboration. Today, it’s launching a new version of HipChat for enterprise users who want (or need) to run the service on their private networks. Enterprises can now install a virtual machine that runs HipChat. This version will include all the standard features that are now part of the tool, including the recently launched video chat functionality. Users who switch from the Atlassian-hosted version to HipChat Server won’t notice any major differences, with the exception that the server edition can be integrated with a company’s existing enterprise identity management services."...During its beta period, HipChat Server was already up and running at about 4,000 companies. As Bernardo de Albergaria, Atlassian’s VP and general manager of the company’s newly formed Collaboration business unit, told me last week, the company decided to put more and more resources into HipChat over the last few years and now sees the product as one of its main priorities. Atlassian plans to triple the team dedicated to HipChat over the course of the next year." Read rest of article http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/27/atlassian-launches-hipchat-server-doubles-…

Hallo, hola, olá to the new, more powerful Google Translate app
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh Jan. 19, 2015

Jan. 19, 2015

Google has updated the Google Translate app for iOS and Android devices The latest update offers powerful and impressive translation capabilities, First, Google Translate offers instant translation using your camera to recognize and to automatically overlay the translated text on the screen. (this is the technology from Word Lens which Google acquired some time ago). Instant translation currently works for translation from English to and from French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish Note that the Google Translate app can still scan a photo taken from your phone and to get a translation of it in 36 languages. What's more interesting is the ability for your phone to capture audio from two speakers and have Google Translate speak a translated version so two speakers speaking different languages can communicate back and forth. See the 30 second YouTube video to see it in action http://youtu.be/jZII2ksensw This follows the release of Skype's Translator Preview last month (see http://blogs.skype.com/2014/12/15/skype-translator-preview-an-exciting-jour…) However Skype Translate Preview is not generally available (you have to register and you then may be offered to participate) ; Google Translate is available now for iOS and Android phones Read the full post on the Google Translate blog : http://googletranslate.blogspot.com/2015/01/hallo-hola-ola-to-new-more-powe… --- Dev Anand
