New Translations of Imagining the Tenth Dimension

Coincidentally, two new translations of my original eleven-minute animation were released recently. First, a Russian website called SmartVideos (www.smartvideos.ru) has translated and re-voiced the animation in their language.

Also recently posted by Marcin Mały, who teaches English for Information Technology at the Technical University of Cracow, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Poland, is the following new version with Polish subtitles. Marcin suggested this to one of his students (Slavo) as a translation exercise, and Marcin edited and supervised the results. I should also mention that Marcin now has some of his students working on translation for several other video blogs of mine, so we can look forward to seeing those in the months to come as well.

These videos join a version that was created quite a while back, here's the video with Greek subtitles created by Christos Georgiou.

Another request that has come up from time to time from English-as-a-second-language viewers of my animation is to have subtitles in English added. Just a couple of weeks ago, a YouTube user from the Central African Republic created and posted just such a thing: thank you, SleepAura for your work in creating this version.

Wow, that's Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Turkish! I really do continue to be amazed at the worldwide interest in this project. Over 4 million unique visitors have now been to www.tenthdimension.com, where the traffic from return visitors continues to average about two million hits per month. Our youtube channel continues to receive various recognitions for the high amount of traffic and new subscribers there, my blog's readership is constantly growing, and my book continues to sell in well over forty countries around the world. Thank you everyone for your interest in my crazy little project to get people to see reality, time, and space in a different way.

Enjoy the journey!
