Linkers, I am in awe. Imagine a website of hundreds of classes and several streaming keynotes over 3+ days in multiple languages. Not everything is in different languages, but how about 40? This site for Rootstech next week, a virtual conference for genealogy, is something I've never seen before. It made me think about the challenges that the governments here have faced for multi-lingual information on Covid, for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiKF0RZL_qA&feature=emb_rel_end&ab_channel=FamilySearch is an overview of the conference, but also includes a tour of the platform for accessing the content. Around the 17 minute mark, they show the content access and how they've designed it for multiple languages. Earlier they talk about linking to the browser language settings for the website itself (11 languages), but there are many many more for content delivered in specific languages on the program. It's at this point in the video where they show this. The example is MONGOLIAN. They also are providing 2 Chinese languages, as well as many more. Rootstech is free (with a Family Search account which is also free) and login is with the FS account beginning Feb 24/25 and running for the 3/4 days. (time differences) So even if genealogy isn't your thing, it is worth having a look at this intro video as well as the conference when it happens to see what they are doing. I reckon it's pretty incredible. Jan
