The 15 Minutes - Open Translation Project

The 'Open Translation Project' is an great opportunity for other to help spread great content throughout the world and across language barriers so that many people can benefit from the messages and build networks with people across borders.

If you are interested in this global project, feel free to email to [e-mail] then you can get more details about this project.

You can participate as a translator between two languages or a native reviewer of your own languages.

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 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
