It is possible to find and/or translate any article listed in the Foundation Library in to many languages. Primarily there are two methods. First, finding an article already translated. Most languages provide conference talks from the late 1990's. Another example where a specific Website provides a translated version of their materials can be found at "Befrienders International." At this site the reader will locate the site written in nine languages including Chinese, Arabic and others. The readers simply selects the language he or she wishes to view the website. As the reader navigates the Foundation Library pay attention to the different languages in which the various Websites have provided their materials. This information is usually found on the Website's respective homepage. Translations that have already been provided by the Website's sponsors are usually preferred because extra care is usually taken in the translating process. Second, electronically translating an article yourself.
It should be remembered that these translating services are not 100% accurate. For example, some words specific to religious teachings and mental health concepts may not be translated properly. However, the reader can at least get the "gist" of an article. For your convenience we have placed the Free Translation and Babel Fish service on the Foundation Library Index page in the button marked "Translate now." Languages using different a alphabet such as Korean, Chinese and Japanese will require you first install a "Language Packet" to obtain the respective alphabet prior to translation.
