I remember there being a better version of this, but Luis von Ahn's talk on "Human Computation" was great: [VIDEO]
Duolingo is started by Luis von Ahn who invented reCAPTCHA. He pioneered the field of human computation: [VIDEO] . He can monetize this in a similar way. Crowd sourced translation service where the more advanced language learners translate books or something. It will be higher quality than google translate for sure.
