W3C MultilingualWeb Workshop Announced: New Horizons for the Multilingual Web

To be held 7-8 May 2014 in Madrid, Spain, W3C today announced the 
seventh MultilingualWeb workshop in a series of events exploring the 
mechanisms and processes needed to ensure that the World Wide Web lives 
up to its potential around the world and across barriers of language and 
culture.

This workshop is made possible by the generous support of the LIDER 
project. As part of the event, LIDER will organize a roadmapping 
workshop on linked data and content analytics.

Anyone may attend all sessions at no charge and the W3C welcomes 
participation by both speakers and non-speaking attendees. Early 
registration is encouraged due to limited space.

Building on the success of six highly regarded previous workshops, this 
workshop will emphasize new technology developments that lead to new 
opportunities for the Multilingual Web. The workshop brings together 
participants interested in the best practices and standards needed to 
help content creators, localizers, language tools developers, and others 
meet the challenges of the multilingual Web. It provides further 
opportunities for networking across communities. We are particularly 
interested in speakers who can demonstrate novel solutions for reaching 
out to a global, multilingual audience.

See the Call for Participation [1] and register online [2].
