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!
