> Title: Languages in Free Software

> Overview:
>
> Given the huge diversity of languages spoken by people all over the
> world, developing software that can deal with them all is a big
> challenge. Inputting, processing and displaying multilingual text each
> present their own difficulties. Additionally, making user interfaces
> that can be used in multiple languages is no small task. However, free
> software is rising to the challenge of truly global software. This talk
> will give a taste of how it's doing that.
>

> to the challenges of multilingual software began when he saw translating
> GNOME into Welsh as an opportunity to contribute to free software. Since
> then he's translated numerous free software programs, worked to make
> others translateble and gained experience in many areas related to
> making software usable by people all over the world.
