[Air-l] Hungarian and others

[Cristian Berrío Zapata]

I agree with Jarek although  my two languages (Spanish and English) have
wide spread. The situation of Anglicization of the web had made of it a
power instrument of de-culturization.

Whether you learn English (I do adore Shakespeare language but this has
nothing to do regarding this) or you abandon the web. Same case if we
view all cultural and socioeconomic "intended" messages in the content,
which for obvious is representative of our west-cultural point of view.

Power and the web is a must at any discussion...

About 10% of the world's population has access to the Internet but 97%
of 
web sites are designed in English. If you need reference for these 
statistics let me know but unless we recognize the importance and
validity 
of other languages in cyberspace, we can find ourselves on the receiving
end 
of the global spectrum.

If anything, we should encourage research and scholarly contribution in 
other, lesser known (to the English-speaking world) languages.
