Una iniciativa japonesa muy ambiciosa y interesante que vamos a seguir de
cerca:
http://www.language-observatory.org/

Objectives of the project
Although over 6,000 languages are currently spoken on the globe, only a few
of them has been properly represented in the virtual universe of the
Internet. This situation we call "Digital Divide among Languages" or just
"Language Digital Divide". We share the same concerns with UNESCO on this
point when the latter stressing the importance of "the preservation of a
balanced use of languages in cyberspace". Here, objectives of the Language
Observatory Project can be stated as;
* To raise public awareness on "Digital Divide among Languages" issues
* To encourage support to the processing of those languages now falling
through the net.
