yahoogroups | Farsi/Persian Speaker Needed!

While we can use any language skill (there are tabs in over a hundred different languages!), we have a particular need for help with Farsi. Google Translate expects it to be written in its version of the Arabic script, but much of the Farsi on Yahoo Groups was written in the Latin alphabet, which Google Translate won't process for that language. (My last attempt was guessed as "Bengali" despite being clearly Farsi, and was naturally rendered as almost complete gibberish.) This means we absolutely need a native speaker to read the text and tell us what's being said.

Are you able to do this? Do you know someone who can? Please pass this request on and let them know to check out our Discord server to volunteer their help.

One of the Unknown groups currently being worked on is in Farsi and we're stuck without help from someone who can read it.

EDIT: I have been able to make use of this converter but it's an extra step that slows everything down. Native speakers are more accurate, plus they recognize and understand context details that can make all the difference with tagging.
