The document discusses the EMMA platform for supporting multilingual MOOCs in Europe. It notes that MOOCs need to be multicultural and multilingual to meet learners' goals. The EMMA platform uses automatic transcription and translation to allow courses to be accessed in multiple languages. However, human intervention is still needed to improve the quality of machine translations. The document provides details on the languages supported for transcription and translation by the EMMA platform.
