Multilingual Platform
With members in over 200 countries, TakingITGlobal understands the
importance of developing a multilingual platform that is accessible to
all users and of providing a resource to showcase local opportunities,
expressions and perspectives that truly reflect the diversity of our
network. The development of TakingITGlobal's multilingual capacity
represents an incredible opportunity for our members to gain a
unique perspective on any given country and helps foster a sense of
global awareness, cultural understanding and intercultural leadership
among youth in local communities and around the world.

This report traces the beginning of our commitment
to opening the cultural diversity of the world to our
online community by crossing linguistic barriers.
Other highlights of the report include focusing on
our cutting edge tools of translation, and working
towards our objective of presenting the multilingual
platform in 15 different languages by the year 2012.
