Translation Reset You Have a Right

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

    You have a RIGHT:
  • To have YOUR kids unlock world-class lessons without leaving the village you grew up in.
  • To have YOUR parents read medical and pension pages in words they understand — no guessing, no risk.
  • To stay rooted on your land and give your family a future.

The silent problem

Most learning sites are still written in English. When a math course, a coding tutorial, or a government form stays monolingual, it quietly tells your family: “Move away or fall behind.”

A story from the field – three generations, one cell-phone

Marisol is twelve. Her village sits in the mountains, two hours from the nearest city. Last year her uncle bought her a used Android phone so she could keep up with math. He loaded the "Math Academy" app, proud to give her the same tools city kids have.

The first lesson opened – all English.

Marisol speaks Quechua at home, Spanish at school. She tried, copied sentences into Google Translate, and cried when the quiz timer ran out. Her mother, Rosa, watched and felt the old ache – the internet promised equality, but the doorway was built for someone else.

Months later, the "Math Academy" contacted us and WE SET A PROXY TO THWIR WEB SITE

Overnight every page greeted visitors in Quechua, Spanish, or English depending on the phone setting.

Marisol opened the same math course. This time the word problems spoke to her in Spanish nd Quechua and English. She finished two units in one weekend.

    Months later, other websites were added
  • Rosa filled out a government benefit form the same night, no neighbor translator needed.
  • Marisol’s grandfather finally understood the weather warnings that tell him when to cover the crops.

Nothing else in the village changed – not the school, not the roads, not the income. But the web welcomed them home, and that changed everything.

    What you can do right now
  • Think of one site your family needs but cannot fully read.
  • Tag the owner or leave a support ticket: "Please go to this website to make i so I can use it!";
  • Share this post so more people know their right:

“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” – Malala Yousafzai
They fought to open doors.
We only have to keep them propped open with one line of code.
YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE – and so does every child who taps a screen in the language of their dreams.

👉 Start here: Understanding is everything.

Desiderata: Original Text
by Max Ehrmann ©1927

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
