WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources

Ideas

In what ways can upcoming virtual Harbin (in ScienceSim, or in OpenSim?) be designed to help develop translation of both IMAGES and OPERA, INTERACTIVELY, opera-wise and image-wise, for WUaS's universal translator (in 3,000-8,000 languages)? (Google Translate is in 58 languages, for example). (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2011/12/pinus-sylvestris-scots-language-whats.html)

To start a new language (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Languages) - for a Language Template - use this Subject Template: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/SUBJECT_TEMPLATE

is wondering in what ways to focus the development of the WUaS Universal Translator, building on, yet different from Google Translate and SugarLabs Translate, probably in terms of context or contextualization of languages and each language (as well as images), that could then dovetail a decade ahead with Google Translate, etc. ...
