Herdict welcomes two new languages to the flock

Herdict is pleased to announce two additional language interfaces:  Persian (herdict.org/Persian) and Russian (nardict.ru).

Our hope is by adding additional languages, we’ll continue to expand the herd.  And, since Herdict relies on you, the herd, to get the upto the moment information on internet filtering, the bigger the herd, the better the data.

Have ideas on what other languages we should add?  What about other new features?  Get involved with Herdict’s growth.

Finally, Shep would like to thank every one who’s helped make this milestone happen: the developers, the translators, the testers, the outreach coordinator and all the Berk friends who have provided guidance and feedback.  There’s a lot of work that goes into a new language, let alone two, so cheers!
