Per il Rilascio Immediato: Febbraio 7, 2007 - è con gran piacere che SailorJones Media annuncia l'inaugurazione dei siti Web nelle Lingue Cinese, Italiana e Tedesca del Progetto delle Libertà
Fondamentali, che ora sono accessibili www.charterofrights.ca ed al www.chartesdesdroits.ca.
Dopo aver inaugurato lo scorso giugno 2006, i siti in Inglese e Francese, le Lingue Cinese, Italiana e Tedesca sono i primi installamenti in una serie di 11 Lingue 'online' pianificate per il Progetto Libertà Fondamentali.
Il progetto delle Libertà Fondamentali - una web, un documentario ed un DVD-ROM - è un' iniziativa multi-piattaforma che esamina La Carta Canadese dei Diritti e delle Libertà.
La chiave al sito Web della Carta dei Diritti è la sua accessibilità.
"La Carta dei Diritti può essere un documento complicato da capire, specialmente per i nuovi Canadesi con l' Inglese come seconda Lingua", ha detto la Produttrice Esecutiva, Barbara Jones. "Facendo il nostro sito Web accessibile in molteplici Lingue è un fattore importante per varie comunità etniche e culturali attraverso il Canada...", ed ha aggiunto: "sta tutto nel portare la Carta dei Diritti a quante più Lingue, Gruppi e Culture possibili."
The 6 additional languages planned for production include: Spanish, Inukitut, Cree, Polish, Portuguese and Punjabi.
