An Evolving Exploration into the Head, Heart and Hands of Energy Descent

Transition Culture has moved

I no longer blog on this site. You can now find me, my general blogs, and the work I am doing researching my forthcoming book on imagination, on my new blog.

Transition in French

If you like Transition, but you speak French, the web has been a fairly unrewarding place until now.  Now ‘Villes et Communautes en Transition’ has arrived, the portal for the French speaking world into the bright and wonderful world of Transition.

Of course, if you are actually French, the above is not too useful.  So according to Babelfish (what an amazing thing!), what I just said, in French, was “Si vous aimez la transition, mais vous parlez français, le Web a été un endroit assez infructueux jusqu’ici. Maintenant ‘ ; En Transition’ de Villes et de Communaudes ; est arrivé, le portail pour le monde de langue française au monde lumineux et brillant de la transition”.

Or something.

TT and permaculture just begin to spread here in France, but now we have a workgroup and a website about TT, and a forum and the first french festival of permaculture this year .

Babelfish n’est pas tres intelligent! It’s taken a nice French title (Villes et communautes en transition) and retranslated it into French, making it incomprehensible. But I’m nit-picking. BRAVO a cette initiative!
