Tomorrow 2pm I’ll be giving a talk at Google (thanks for the invitation, Kevin) about languages on the internet. It will be an updated version of the “While We Wait For The Babel Fish” talk I gave at reboot a month or so ago. For details, click on the poster Kevin made:

Cool, let me know if you have time for lunch/coffee
I’ll try to attend the talk this time 
Love the poster, pity I can’t be there for the presentation!
Juste un petit voeu en retard, malheureusement, pour ton anniversaire! Toute mon admiration pour ta gestion relationnelle, ton aisance et ton enthousiasme. Bisou. Monique
Good luck! Sounds like an exciting talk, would want to be there.
hello
Do you have any advice on automated language conversion? i have a site that im advised would do well in other languages but i cant afford to pay for somebody to translate.
Is there anything out there that may work?

I just watched the movie of your talk about languages on the internet. It was very interesting for me – especially your suggestions of how to detect the language of the visitor of a site. This because I intend to launch an internet-service, which will have to function multilingual. And maybe your ideas will find the way into that service.
Besides: For this post I use English instead of French, since my French is even worse than my English, although I’m Swiss (german part)… Thanks for your work! Patrick
Really great talk, Steph. Wish I’d been there!
Thanks! Glad you liked it
I’m just watching the Google video. You might find http://fr.librarything.com/ interesting, both because it is an useful website, and because they’re in a process of internationalization. The same contents (user community, their books, data about books) is availble in all languages, only the user interface changes.
