The MultilingualWeb initiative is concerned with standards and best practices that support the creation, localization and use of multilingual web-based information.
Through W3C workshops open to the public and various communication channels, it spreads information about what standards and best practices currently exist, and what gaps need to be filled. The news aggregation below and the social media channels linked to from this page also provide information about standards-related developments that affect the multilingual Web.
The MultilingualWeb represents a rallying point for initiatives concerned with improving internationalization and localization of the Web. Various European Commission projects have been run in association with the MultilingualWeb brand, and have provided funding and support for additional workshops.
