This interview is part of an ongoing series of portraits of Global Voices contributors. Translators are behind-the-scenes contributors who allow readers to read the content in other languages.

Interest in a particular country is often one of the reasons that takes a reader from being just that to become a contributor to Global Voices. Japan is at the center of Gaël’s concerns right now, but it was thanks to his interest in Bangladesh that he first discovered Global Voices.

See here for other portraits of bloggers and translators of Global Voices worldwide.
