How to pronounce "wikipedia"

[Please apologize for your stupidity. There are a many thank you.]

(Laughter)

OK, so computer translation, not yet good enough.

So back to the question.

So we need people to translate the whole web.

So now the next question you may have is,

well, why can't we just pay people to do this?

We could pay professional translators to translate the whole web.

We could do that.

Unfortunately, it would be extremely expensive.

For example, translating a tiny fraction of the whole web, Wikipedia,

into one other language, Spanish.

OK? Wikipedia exists in Spanish,

but it's very small compared to the size of English.

It's about 20 percent of the size of English.

If we wanted to translate the other 80 percent into Spanish,

it would cost at least 50 million dollars --

and this is even at the most exploited, outsourcing country out there.

So it would be very expensive.

So what we want to do is, we want to get 100 million people

translating the web into every major language for free.
