About This Book
A chronological survey of how the internet and the web affected multilingual access to information, tracing developments from early internet protocols through character-encoding systems (ASCII variants, ISO standards, Unicode), translation and terminology projects, multilingual dictionaries and glossaries, machine translation and online lexicons, and collaborative resources like encyclopedias and language atlases. It examines technical standards, tools for translators and localization, initiatives for language preservation and identification, and the social and infrastructural challenges of providing equitable linguistic access online.
