This week on #HoPWaG we look at Pierre Bayle, and ask whether his Dictionary is supposed to lead the reader towards skepticism or a more profound Christian faith. (Maybe both?)

Book digitization projects like Google Books and Archive.org have been a boon to us translators. They offer free, easy access to reference material from past centuries, such as this 100-year-old French-English chemistry dictionary that I used constantly earlier this year when translating sample chapters of a book on the history of science.

#Florida #banned #dictionaries. And #encyclopedias and #thesauruses.

This is not a #TheOnion headline. It’s reality.

Because kids have access to things like the definition of sex, description of sex related topics, and terms surrounding sex.

What the actual fuck.

Lingala (a Bantu language of the Niger-Congo family) is spoken by approximately 10 million people living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic and Angola. It originated in the Equatorial Region of the DRC, but as the official language of the Army, it became the major language of the Capital city, Kinshasa. Lingala is considered one of the national languages of the DRC.

This dictionary uses the simplified Lingala dialect, also known as Lingala facile. It is mostly a spoken language.

This unique, two-part resource provides travelers to central Africa with the tools they need for daily interaction. The bilingual dictionary has a concise vocabulary for everyday use, and the phrasebook allows instant communication on a variety of topics.
