The BBC creates news stories in more than 40 languages. So earlier this year we built a prototype to help keep track of them. https://bbcnewslabs.co.uk/projects/mat/

Matching translated news articles with the original English-language text.

Very interesting. Are there plans to open-source any of these tools?

Buried within there you can see examples such as
https://bbc.github.io/rcookbook/ which has been released on the BBC github account for anyone who wants to do BBC style graphs using #RStats #OpenSource https://github.com/bbc/bbplot

@dec23k @maelduin13 Yep, we do open source things when it makes sense to do so; e.g. how valuable will it be to others and how much work will be required. But not in this case

I still use the virtual PPM meter from baptools because I prefer them to VU meters (and nobody makes PPM hardware anymore).

Is there any chance of linking to @BBCRD from that Open Source page? As of now, there is just a link to Twitter.
