[UCIMC-Tech] web site translation?

[Chris Ritzo]

Jason,
I'll be sure to attend the tech meeting tomorrow so we can talk more
about it then. We may be able to use an online translator and then ask
a native/fluent speaker to review it. This might take some burden off.
Translators can make good $!!  It seems like there might be some grant
funds out there for translation also. Not sure where to look though.
