Language is the basis of mass communication.
The internet is revolutionizing technologies for B2B transactions and language communications. Access to multilingual information should become as ubiquitous as the telephone or any hand-held device . It is time for greater creativity, new communications models and guidelines for the enabling processes that will drive the internet economy, information processing and new global business partnerships. It is time to understand how to manage the process and make it available throughout the enterprise to achieve what the pundits forecast the multilingual millennium to be. Still, ten years after the Localisation Industry Standards Association was established, demand by far exceeds the services sector's ability to meet all requirements and is growing daily with the expansion of the internet.
