Since CIRC09, I've also been thinking about how such efforts can be more institutionalized rather than relying on complete voluntarism. Many universities inside and outside China offer courses in translation between Chinese and English, where students translate for assignments and really for credits. Although such courses/programs vary in quality, some of the best translators and interpreters, at least from China, emerge out of such a process. It seems to make a lot of sense for Yeeyan to partner with some of the well-known educational institutions in this field to ensure an army of steady contributors, where all parties are likely to have something to gain from it.
