Rafael Lima is a volunteer for Global Voices in Esperanto. His translation of the story “The journey of the Esperanto movement in Nepal over the past eight decades” from English to Esperanto has been nominated for the Lingua Translation Spotlight.
Once a quarter, Lingua Translation Managers select one or two outstanding translations that deserve a special round of applause. Herman Dekeŭnink, an Esperanto Translation Manager, commented on the significance of this story being translated:
This translation into Esperanto and several other languages offers more knowledge and visibility about the history of Esperanto in Asia, to the Esperanto-speaking audience itself and beyond.
Excellent job, Rafael! Take a look at his translation on the Global Voices in Esperanto website:
