The work of CABTAL has been expanding and the last couple of years I was being told time and again that it will be good for me to visit our teams in the North for IT work despite the fact that my colleague Marcel Nko'o based in Yaounde goes there from time to time. I didn't really welcome this idea because it is a very long way for me to travel. Maybe about 1700km or something.
Meet Nathanael here.

ParaText Training with Aghem MTTs
ParaTex Training session with Aghem MTTs in Wum. It was an excellent working session. I trained Charles, Jessica and Zang the first day. Zang one of the translators thrilled us with this question: "Please sir, who taught the computer the Aghem language that it seems to understand it so well and translates it properly in English in a very short time?" The second day I told Jessica that she was going to train Alfred with me just watching. She did it with very little assistance from me.
ParaText helps mother tongue translators in several ways. In this case, they can now produce an interlinear back translation and a free or literal back translation. At the same time they are reading through their work and making necessary corrections. Also it saves cost of paper and printing and will greatly facilitate checking with a translation consultant who doesn't speak their language.
In Weh I installed a copier/printer/scanner for the team and they were so excited as they can now print, copy and scan right there!
