Le multilinguisme sur le Web

The study examines the emergence and distribution of languages on the Web and is organized around four themes: multilingualism, linguistic resources, translation, and research. It combines exploratory analysis with interviews and a curated selection of websites, tracing early anglophone dominance and the gradual expansion of other languages while using French and European language diversity as examples. It surveys online language tools such as directories, dictionaries, corpora, and machine-assisted translation, and outlines research projects in machine translation, computational linguistics, language engineering, internationalization and localization. Responses from surveyed organizations are included to illustrate professional perspectives.
