[Agnes Choi | The 15 Mins Online Team ] The Open Translation Project gives me
pleasure from collaborating with people
and a chance to strengthen my English
[Donghyun Kim | Video Translator] The fun from working together
And the feeling of getting better and better every step
These are the benefits from working on this project
The concept of the 'Open Translation Project' was
kind of interesting to me 'The 15 Minutes'
where you get to spread your ideas
[Steven Butler | English Consultant] is something that I really believe in. The free spread of education and ideas
is something that I think should be worldwide
One of the best ways to change the world is
to spread the strong will of people
[Inhyuk Song | The 15 Mins Curator] who want to walk their own paths
And to make a chance for them to participate together
[Donghyun Kim | Video Translator] While participating in the project
I thought it was really meaningful to make quality Korean content available worldwide
I think the true meaning of 'globalization' is
more than just spreading content into foreign countries
[Agnes Choi | The 15 Mins Online Team ] There is a lot of quality Korean content
that also has language and cultural barriers
'Globalization' means removing those barriers
in order to enable more people to acceess that content
and even to add more value to that content
because it can be fresher and more exotic outside of Korea
I think that is what true 'globalization' means
When you translate it into other languages
unlike when you just listen to it
[Inhyuk Song | The 15 Mins Curator] when you translate it sentence by sentence
you can have the chance to thoroughly go over its history
and the will to achieve the goal
which makes myself think
about 'How to live my own life'
And, just like I did myself
I can spread the same opportunities
to people all over the world
I think one of the greatest ways to positively influence the world is
participating in the 'Open Translation Project' by The 15 Minutes
Most of time after finishing translating
[Donghyun Kim | Video Translator] and seeing my work on TV
I never saw my name at the ending credit of the program
However, unlike my past experiences, I could see my name on this
- On the video of 'The 15 Minutes'? - Yes
I could see my name at the end of the video
When I saw my name at the ending credit
I literally felt touched
As a foreigner, I think it's a great way to work together
with Koreans and to work together with other people
[Steven Butler | English Consultant] And also to learn Korean a little bit
and I think anybody who lives in Korea
and the foreigners would benefit a lot if they were able to help participate in these kinds of translations
I feel grateful to be participating
in a great project like this from the start
[Agnes Choi | The 15 Mins Online Team ] I hope people around the world can participate in this project
and use this opportunity to create globalized content together
as well as make a worldwide network of participants who share values
