E-blogs by Wikio: the best European blogposts now available in 5 languages
5
July 24th, 2010Euroblogosphere, FranceThanks to the European blog search engine Wikio, there is now no need anymore to speak 5 languages to discover the best European blogs. Each day on e-blogs, blogposts from the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are selected and translated into 5 languages. What a fantastic initiative! Bravo Wikio!
As far as translation is concerned, there is a novelty on this blog too. As a matter of principle, this blog is already bilingual. Almost all articles are available in English here and in French there. I took that decision right from the beginning in order to present a French view on European affairs to English speakers on one hand, and to build bridges between the Euroblogosphere and the French blogosphere on the other hand. However the fact that Spanish Eurobloggers such as Encarna of Más Europa, Emilio of europe@s and Jorge Juan of Cuidadano Morante have recently started to comment in Spanish on this blog pushed me to do more for multilinguism. This is why below the language button you can now see a Google translate button for all the people who are not comfortable with either English or French. This button can also be used to translate comments you don’t understand the language of, and even to reply in a language you can’t speak! Amazing, isn’t it?

we’re living (at eblogs) exciting beginnings

@Laurent Hello bilingual friend
Exciting it is for sure! I’m very glad to see that the initiative came from a private company and not from public actors. It’s a refreshing change. I hope the initiative will be successful and congrats again for having dared to build bridges between the language clusters of the various Wikio platforms. Let me know if I can be of any help. 0 likes

Does this mean you’ll support my idea of a multilingual day of blogging on 26 September, for the European Day of Languages? I’m hoping Bloggingportal will come on board.
26. September als Tage der vielsprachigen Bloggen feiern!
Fetons le 26 septembre comme jour des blogs multilingues?
