Thank you for the link, my father was telling me about this yesterday...
I had not seen a hard copy of the story. It's great news, but the story leaves out the fact that most don't make it past the first year... hopefully the trend of increased enrollment will continue, we need the translators very badly.
Keep up the good work, Ian.
Given the shortage of translators, you'll be certain to receive some interesting job offers when you're done.
