Making the Internet more language-friendly
|
 California, USA (Network): The University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded about $300,000 in new funding to continue its effort over the next two years to make writing systems for all languages work on the Internet. The initiative, already four years old, will focus on encoding eight scripts this year and eight more next year. These include Javanese and assorted Native American languages. More than 80 writing systems are not yet in Unicode, the international character-encoding standard used on the 'Net, according to the university.
