W3C announces the A Local Focus for the Multilingual Web, to take place 21 - 22 September 2011 in Limerick, Ireland, co-located with the 16th Annual LRC Conference. Workshop participants will discuss currently available best practices and standards that help content creators, localizers, language technology developers, browser makers, and others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web. The Workshop also provides opportunities for networking that bring together the various communities involved in enabling the multilingual Web. This is the third of four Workshops being planned by W3C over two years as part of the MultilingualWeb European Project and is hosted by the University of Limerick. Participation is free and open to anyone. However, space is limited and participants are advised to register as soon as possible.
