Gymnasieelever får lov at bruge Google Translate til eksamen
Undervisningsminister lover plagiattjek for at fange snyd. Hvordan oversætter man 'der er ingen ko på isen' til engelsk? Hvad er temaerne i Hemingways centrale værker? Og hvornår døde Tycho Brahe?
Den slags spørgsmål kan elever på gymnasiale uddannelser snart få hjælp fra internettet til at svare på. Som de eneste i verden har de allerede mulighed for at gå til skriftlig eksamen med internetadgang i seks fag, og nu udvides det til 11.

A Record-a-thon for Human Language - The Rosetta Project
The idea is that by creating a 5-10 minute unedited video, and providing basic information about it - essentially just saying what language you think it is in - and then uploading it to the Rosetta Project collection in the Internet Archive, you are helping build a corpus of valuable data for that language. You don't need to be a specialist, and by archiving it you create a resource that others can build on, for many different useful purposes - from language learning and teaching, to linguistic analysis, to building the tools that enable a language to be used with modern technology.
