Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.62,0:02:20.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we launched TEDTalks\Nalmost seven years ago,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.49,0:02:22.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and from the moment\Nthat we put the talks online,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.91,0:02:27.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,within weeks, we actually started getting\Nemails from people around the world,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.47,0:02:33.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And one of the things that struck me was,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.26,0:02:36.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we'd get emails that said, "I want\Nto translate these into Polish, Spanish...

Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.60,0:02:43.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what was so interesting to me\Nabout these emails
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.12,0:02:47.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was that they, you, weren't asking us\Nto translate the talks.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.74,0:02:50.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You were saying,\N"We want to translate these talks."

Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.77,0:03:02.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, we actually eventually listened.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.72,0:03:05.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And these emails actually became\Na little more insistent.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.48,0:03:07.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They went from "I would like to translate"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.45,0:03:09.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to "Here's what we think you should do.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.75,0:03:20.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So basically, we have listened\Nto this community from the very beginning.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.78,0:03:50.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And one of the things\NI also think is really exciting
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.35,0:03:53.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that we're now moving in the direction\Nof translating TEDx talks

Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.14,0:04:10.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, where I would love\Nto start the conversation,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.69,0:04:12.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I always just love hearing this,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.10,0:04:43.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I wanted to show it to my friend,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.12,0:04:47.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and she didn't speak English\Nor read English.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.52,0:04:53.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, then I saw that I could volunteer\Nfor translating, and I did.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.01,0:04:57.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And since then, I'm addicted\Nto translating TEDTalks
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.70,0:04:59.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because they are so inspiring.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.18,0:05:09.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I initially started
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.84,0:05:14.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because I wanted schoolchildren\Nto be able to understand TEDTalks,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.79,0:05:19.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because that is such an important\Ntime in their lives
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.66,0:05:26.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and TEDTalks offer perspectives\Ninto so many different professions,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.22,0:05:34.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, they would watch\Nand understand many talks
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.51,0:05:38.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the end, they'd understand\Nwhat they want in their lives
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.80,0:05:43.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and do what they want to do\Nwith their lives.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.34,0:05:48.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I started because I wanted children\Nto be able to understand them,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.48,0:05:52.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then, I started receiving emails\Nfrom so many people,
