aleles Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Hi all, Are there any FDR resources that are translated/adapted to other languages? Or maybe there are friendly international groups that mirror the content? I am specifically interested in the Russian market. For best results it would require dubbed or native videos (no CC) and VK (Russian Facebook) for social promotion. Thanks, Alex
Dylan Lawrence Moore Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 I don't know of any, but have you thought about translating FDR material in Russian? Russian is probably one of the more vital languages for this information to be disseminated to (along with Chinese and Arabic).
weeb Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Translating this volume of work would take as many years as it did to create it. If anything, I would translate the books.
alexqr1 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 The Hispanic Mises Institute has some, here: http://www.miseshispano.org/authors/stefan-molyneux/ I translated "Olvidemos el argumento desde la eficiencia" even though I don't fully agree with it. Here's some videos http://www.miseshispano.org/videos/?auth=Stefan+Molyneux Hope that helps
aleles Posted March 24, 2014 Author Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks guys! I'd like to translate FDR materials to Russian and I agree it will take as many years as it took to create it, so the books or some other synopsis of the core ideas would be a good start. I see a "Best of FDR list" here http://emergingrenaissance.wordpress.com/best-of-freedomain-radio/ Is this the only such "best hits" list? Is there a torrent to download them all at once? I haven't decided on the form yet. I am leaning more towards a resource with the content adapted to the Russian history, politics, news etc. Do you know what would be the proper way to reference FDR if for example I produce a podcast in Russian based on Stefan's ideas with my own thoughts added?
alexqr1 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Sorry, somehow I missed that you were specifically interested in Russian in the original post.
weeb Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Well, as Stef has said, he can't do this forever. And, he definitely can't do this in every language. Ultimately, people who can express these ideas well in another language might want to consider their own podcasts in that language. If someone hadn't translated Bastiat, I would have missed out on some great arguments against the State. It would be nice to see FDR franchise and take peaceful parenting and voluntaryism to the rest of the world.
aleles Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 I'm interested in how others do it in any language. It'd be a good example on how to approach this massive task of starting FDR in a new language. I assume mentioning FDR when you podcast closely to the original Stef's ideas would suffice... along with sending all bitcoin donations to Stef
ebrink06 Posted April 6, 2014 Posted April 6, 2014 I was just thinking of translating material to French. That could reach a good portion of the world. Maybe the projects section would be a good place to start.
Dylan Lawrence Moore Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Even if you guys weren't translating, simply repeating this information in your languages I think would be a big plus. Making youtube videos of yourself explaining it, or voicing over Stef in the corresponding language for videos you really like (it's done in German over at freiwilligfrei.de). I really feel that the freedom movements/information explosion happening on earth right now is primarily happening in English. On one hand this is really good, as English is more or less the international language of the world right now, but on the other hand we're leaving out A LOT of people who otherwise don't have access to all the information that various people and groups have been spewing forth into the internet the last decade or so. So yea, Russian, French, whatever! This stuff needs to get out into whatever languages it can.
jonschnee Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 -in German: FreiwilligFrei.de is strongly infuenced by FDR and they have also translated lots of Stef's videos: youtube.com/user/FreiwilligFrei -in Polish: some of Stef's most popular videos with Polish subtitles:youtube.com/user/kiziorgdyoutube.com/user/libertarianskie
aleles Posted November 13, 2014 Author Posted November 13, 2014 Hey guys, what do you think about a remake of the old Intro to Philosophy series as graphical fun videos, i.e. hand drawn or rendered that can be voiced over in any other language? I started a thread here https://board.freedomainradio.com/topic/42491-graphical-intro-to-philosophy-in-various-languages-artists-wanted/
