Language & framing

Read it in your language. Know whose room it is.

Translating a listing is easy. The harder job is not flattening a living practice into a wellness class on the way — so some words stay exactly where they are, and the tradition gets named out loud.

The site, in your language

Switch the whole interface between English, Français, Español, Italiano and Deutsch from the globe in the header. Your choice is remembered, and search-engine pages exist for each — so people find you in their own words.

What facilitators write

Their words are theirs. Tap Translate on any description and we render it in your language on the spot — and say plainly that a machine did it, not the teacher. The original stays one tap away.

The room's own language

Every gathering states what it's held in, and whether a human translation can be arranged on request. That's the facilitator's offering, arranged personally — never confused with the automatic kind.

What we never machine-translate

Some things carry the tradition. A machine does not touch them.

Mantras and sacred syllables
Chanted as they always have been. The sound is kept; the meaning is given alongside — never in place of it.
The name of the tradition
A kriya stays a kriya, a terreiro a terreiro, a sesshin a sesshin. We don't smooth a living practice into “a wellness class” on the way through translation.
The facilitator's final word
The teacher holds the final text in every language. Nothing publishes in their name that they haven't seen and approved.
One language is a valid answer

A facilitator can offer their listing in one language and stop there. What isn't allowed is a translated listing that hides the fact it was translated — so we always show what's original and what's rendered.
