From WiserEarth in Spanish: What will it take?, Juan (jckaiten) answered the following question:

What is the financial model for WiserEarth in Spanish - how will it be funded?

The initial phase for Wiser Earth in Spanish has two basic parts. The first one is to translate just the basic templates that can facilitate a proper navigation through Wiser Earth. That would entail registry and main menus for browsing, creating groups, wiki pages, attach files, etc. That should entail no major complexity.

The second part of the initial phase has to do with translating the taxonomy of the areas of focus which entails a process of not only translating it but adapting it to the Latin American context.

That first phase can be covered financially by ActivArte – Innernet. We can cover the cost of the translation. We would need to define the process of getting the database of commands and templates to be translated and then integrate it into WiserEarth in Spanish.

For the first phase we believe that is better to have only one site and the icon of the Spanish flag to switch into Spanish. (I need to understand what does that process entails technically. Can that cost be covered by Wiser Earth?)
