Many o f the interviewees talk about very local problems that are repeated around the world. It is very clear how similar many of the experiences are and there will be an effort to make cross-reference links to highlight this fact. I believe we must make an effort in creating a multilingual Internet environment where people are not exclu ded on the basis of language.
Language is a powerful instrument of discrimination.
Having 2 or 3 versions in different languages inevitably creates a great onus of work, because translation is still a time-consuming, laborious process, but it is of fund amental importance to democratize the communication process.
