The Worldwide Lexicon Reloaded (O'Reilly)

[Posted February 7, 2007 by cook]

Brian McConnell discusses web site language translation issues and the Worldwide Lexicon Project in an O'Reilly ONLamp article. "This new version of the system is much simpler, and it's based on a key insight. Any website with an audience of more than a few dozen people probably has bilingual readers. The bigger the audience, the more languages its readers will speak. Moreover, these readers are presumably interested in the content, are more knowledgeable about it (they understand its context), and are more willing to help others read it."
