PROBLEM: San Francisco (CNN) -- As Nokia prepares for its next crucial venture into the U.S. and high-end smartphones, the Finnish cell-phone maker is missing a crucial piece: an abundant catalog of applications. Nokia is attempting to woo app developers with such incentives as pre-installing their software on the forthcoming phone, prominent promotion for their products and funding development of an app, according to three people involved in the negotiations. A vibrant app store has become a major selling point to smartphone customers. In the past, Nokia, which sells the highest volume of mobile phones worldwide, has made efforts to work with some creators of apps for its platforms. A Nokia spokeswoman said the company offers app developers a variety of incentives, some in partnership with Microsoft, which include coding assistance and marketing. "We do not disclose these arrangements, as each is different," she said. Microsoft declined to comment for this story.Nokia is offering to pay developers to make apps for its new phone, sources saySuch payments from phone manufacturers are unusualMicrosoft did something similar last year, but its Windows Phone app catalog is still lackingNokia is set to launch its first Windows phone by the end of the year, sources say

PROBLEM: (CNN) -- One of the Internet's great promises is that it's the ultimate democratizer. It's open to everyone and allows all people to communicate. Facebook and Google have added new translation tools, but they take different approaches. But, so far, there have been several hitches in that plan. Not everyone has access to a computer and a broadband connection. Some governments still censor the Internet. And of course, we don't all speak the same language. For the World Wide Web to be truly global, shouldn't Chinese speakers be able to chat online with people who only speak Spanish? And why should an English speaker be barred from reading blogs written in Malagasy or Zulu?Facebook and Google are finding new ways to translate the WebFacebook favors human translation; Google leans on its computersGoogle claims to be the largest translation service online, with 51 languagesFacebook announces a new service to let Internet users help translate sites
