Parallel Texts. Some are public domain (documents, laws), some are copyrighted by us
like the charming Daisy Stories used worldwide for education and
entertainment.They are currently available from English to the languages listed
below.
PARALLEL TEXTS
FROM ENGLISH TO 55
DIFFERENT LANGUAGES:
FREE ADVICE WITH
LONWEB ONLINE
GUIDES
How do I say hello?
Can you recommend a good dictionary?
What is the meaning of this word?
How do you pronounce it?
Do you have dialects?
Our
Lonweb Online Guides (LOGs) can answer these and many other
questions. LOGs are experts in their mother tongue who have accepted to
volunteer and offer their expertise to you in order to answer any question you
may have about their language. So when you start learning a new language or when
you are in doubt about anything, feel free to ask our LOGs.

an experimental basis and can be discontinued without prior notice •••

Lonweb.org has been online since 1997 and
has always managed to remain a not-for-profit website offering all its resources
for free. Most Daisy Stories, Arranger Stories and Opal Stories
have been translated by volunteers who just enjoy translating and helping people
learn languages using the parallel text system, also knows as the side-by-side
method.
Becoming a volunteer is easy!
You can start
right away using our table templates provided below which let you fit your
translated bits very easily into the parallel text slots provided! Before
translating, you may want to check that the story has never been translated
before. On the other hand, we love to publish more than one translation for any
given story, so feel free to send us a translation of a story which has already
been translated if you feel like it!
After
completion, please send your translation to

It will
be published in a matter of days, if not hours.
Volunteering an mp3 audio recording of your translation
We know that our resources would really benefit from an audio
recording to complement the reading. You can volunteer an audio recording in mp3
format either of your translation or of anybody else's translation.
We do not need a professional voiceover
sort of quality, the audio just needs to be understandable and without excessive
background noise. We look forward to receiving your audio recordings of the Daisy,
Arranger and Opal Stories!
