A little while ago a discussion took place on the Community Media Association’s email list about the need to check programmes which weren’t in English.
A request went out for some sort of facility where you could search for other stations who broadcast programmes in, say, Somali, Punjabi, Mandarin and so on. Some responded to say they could offer a whole host of languages to exchange with other stations for checking.
Husain Fazel of Eclectic Productions kindly offered to code a database which could run on the web.
This week we added the database to the website – the link is on the right, below the word ‘language’ represented in different languages. The link is a work in progress and will be embedded in a full page.
Please add your station and any languages you currently broadcast in.
If a language is missing, please email using the ‘email us‘ link and it will be added.
BCFM, London Chinese Radio and ALLFM who responded to the first email have been added to start it off.
Comments are welcome!
