Translation Tool – Traduku Posted by Transparent Language on Oct 28, 2009
Since I’m usually averse to Internet translations, I’ve been somewhat reluctant to mention a tool called Traduku. If you’ve ever had experience with Babelfish, it functions much like the (in)famous web translator.

Looking for a read? Posted by Transparent Language on Oct 27, 2009
Esperanto strikes me as an inherently literary language. I find that I learn the most about it by reading. Of course, I am a student of literature, so forgive me if this clouds my judgment!

Further Web Resources Posted by Transparent Language on Oct 22, 2009
While ELNA, the Esperanto League of North America, is one of my favorite Web destinations, sometimes other places are well worth the visit. As a practicing Esperantist, it would help you to check out the resources that similar organizations in other countries put forth. One of my preferred venues is the Esperanto Association of Ireland…
Esperanto and Horror Fiction Posted by Transparent Language on Oct 20, 2009
Since Halloween approaches, a friend of mine asked me to write a critical essay of the horror genre. It’s still in the works, but I’ve done a bit, including something on the film Inkubo. Here’s an adapted snippet of it that’s pretty relevant to our continued discussion of Esperanto. You might remember a post some…
