The WebALT project created a translator of mathematical teaching material from OpenMath formulas to seven European languages. This translator has recently become open-source, which opens new ways to develop and extend it. One of the main ambitions is to extend the system to cover all of the 23 official languages of the European Union. This goal requires organized collaboration of voluntary work. The main part of the work is the implementation of the GF Resource Grammar Library to new languages. This work is applicable not only in the WebALT grammars but also in other projects that use the library. In addition, WebALT requires a lexicon of mathematical terms to be built for each language. The talk will explain the main scientific issues of the task, as well as what skills and how much work is required, and how we intend to boost the development by organizing a Resource Grammar Summer School in 2009.
