W3C Workshop: The Multilingual Web – The Way Ahead

W3C announces today the fourth in a series of workshops to ensure the multilingual success of the World Wide Web: The Multilingual Web – The Way Ahead, 15 - 16 March 2012, Luxembourg, hosted by the Directorate-General for Translation (DGT) of the European Commission. The event is co-located with the European Commission's Language Technology Showcase Days. Anyone may attend and participation is free. W3C welcomes participation from both speakers and non-speaking attendees, but the total number of participants is limited due to space.

Building on the success of the preceding events in Madrid, Pisa, and Limerick, this workshop will once again bring together speakers and participants with an interest in best practices and standards aimed at helping content creators, localizers, tools developers, and others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web. It provides further opportunities for networking across communities that span the various aspects involved. We are particularly interested in speakers who can identify gaps in current standards and best practices related to the mutilingual Web, and propose opportunities for addressing those. Registration is available online.
