There is probably no other e-learning websites which has been translated into so many languages ​​and more are still actively beeing translated to.

Out of this we create KA Polyglott, a unique tool for refugees to close their gaps in mathematics and at the same time learn the any other language. We develop an Webbrowser Extension for khanacademy.org where a foreign language speaker can simply see and watch the translation of texts and videos to his native language.

The current prototype is a technology demonstrator. And demonstrates the following functions on the following tutorial:
