Mojofiti Collaborates Around the World to Break Down Language Barriers

Web 3.0 Platform Will Foster Seamless Global Communication; Promote Cross-Cultural Collaboration

Mojofiti Inc logoDENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With more than 1.6 billion Internet users communicating in countless languages and 4.6 billion cell phone users predicted by the end of 2009, language barriers represent the final frontier to modern international communication. Mojofiti?, a global network of people working together to break down language barriers worldwide, today launched mymojofiti.com?, a multilingual publishing platform currently in beta.

mymojofiti.com is a global, open source-based publishing and networking platform where people can publish, share and interact with each other in their native local language while reaching out to the world in 27 languages through Google?s? machine dictionaries. mymojofiti uses a combination of Wordpress?, BuddyPress? and other proprietary technologies augmented by Google machine translations to allow users to combine all content from their existing WordPress blog and instantly translate it for viewers in their native language. Soon it will include a language-enabled e-commerce plug-in, so users can easily extend their goods and services for purchase to more buyers on a worldwide basis.

Mojofiti is calling upon open source developers, translators, content designers, and creators to join the effort to enhance and grow mymojofiti.com to ultimately become a new kind of global social network, allowing anyone to express themselves, integrate with social media tools and interact in any language globally.

?Our vision is to create a world without language barriers,? said Mojofiti founder, Dennis Wakabayashi. ?It?s very exciting to be uniting world dictionaries, software developers and content originators to create solutions that allow people from all walks of life, in any country, in any language to collaborate freely in their native language. Whether it?s an individual wanting to publish content and interact with like minds on social issues or businesses that want to foster greater communication between their multilingual employees, customers or other constituents, together these real-time language translation-based solutions will make this a reality.?

Mojofiti is taking a collaborative and open approach to developing a series of real-time language translation-enabled solutions by involving users, developers, linguists and companies from around the world to further the technology advancement process, and will openly share the results.

?We?re looking forward to creating, in a collaborative environment, new solutions that will foster a world without language barriers,? said Mojofiti founder, Alan Simon. ?Some solutions will focus on the needs of businesses and consumers while others will be geared toward having the convenience of real-time language translation anywhere, anytime. Breaking down global language barriers is inevitable to truly realize Web 3.0 and Mojofiti is on the forefront of this movement.?

Mojofiti is kicking off its worldwide launch on Thursday, October 22 in Denver, Colorado at the SoCo entertainment venue, City Hall, 1144 Broadway. There, the Mojofiti team will officially launch the beta of mymojofiti.com to the open source community and unveil the Mojofiti Foundation?, a nonprofit organization with the purpose of overcoming language barriers for those in need. With special guest Afrika Bambaataa, Godfather of Hip Hop and global advocate for positive change, Mojofiti is inviting everyone to celebrate and be part of its global movement for change, uniting to break down language barriers worldwide.
