8th MultilingualWeb workshop</a> in a <a href="http://multilingualweb.eu/documents">series of events</a> exploring the mechanisms and processes needed to ensure that the World Wide Web lives up to its potential around the world and across barriers of language and culture.</p> <p>This workshop will be held <strong>29 April 2015</strong> in <strong>Riga, Latvia</strong>, and is made possible by the generous support of the <a href="http://lider-project.eu/">LIDER project</a>. The workshop is part of the <a href="http://rigasummit2015.com/">Riga Summit 2015 on the Multilingual Digital Single Market</a> (27-29 April)</p> <p>Anyone may attend all sessions at no charge and the W3C welcomes participation by both speakers and non-speaking attendees. Early registration is encouraged due to limited space.</p> <p>Building on the success of seven highly regarded previous workshops, this workshop will emphasize new technology developments that lead to new opportunities for the Multilingual Web. The workshop brings together participants interested in the best practices and standards needed to help content creators, localizers, language tools developers, and others meet the challenges of the multilingual Web. It provides further opportunities for networking across communities. We are particularly interested in speakers who can demonstrate novel solutions for reaching out to a global, multilingual audience.</p> <p>See the <a href="http://www.multilingualweb.eu/documents/2015-riga-workshop/2015-riga-cfp">Call for Participation</a> and <a href="https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/1/2015mlw/">register online</a>.</p> <div class="admin"> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2014/12/18/w3c-multilingualweb-workshop-announced-29-april-2015-riga-latvia/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> <div class="cats"> Tags: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/mlw/" rel="tag">mlw</a></strong> </div> <div class="cats">Categories: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/announcements/" rel="category tag">Announcements</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/highlight/" rel="category tag">Highlight</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/mlw-2/" rel="category tag">MLW</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3csemanticweb/" rel="category tag">w3cSemanticWeb</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebarchitecture/" rel="category tag">w3cWebArchitecture</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebdesign/" rel="category tag">w3cWebDesign</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebofdevices/" rel="category tag">w3cWebOfDevices</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebservices/" rel="category tag">w3cWebServices</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebuseragents/" rel="category tag">w3cWebUserAgents</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cxmlcore/" rel="category tag">w3cXMLCore</a></strong></div> </div> </div> <?php// endif; ?>   <div class="pubdata"> <div class="date"><time datetime=2014-12-16>December 16, 2014</time></div> </div> <div class="resource"> <h3> <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2014/12/16/first-public-working-draft-of-indic-layout-requirements-published/" title="Permanent link to full entry">First Public Working Draft of Indic Layout Requirements published</a> </h3> <div class="description"> <p>The W3C Internationalization Working Group has published a First Public Working Draft of <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-ilreq-20141216/">Indic Layout Requirements</a> on behalf of the <a href="https://www.w3.org/International/groups/indic-layout/">Indic Layout Task Force</a>, part of the W3C <a href="https://www.w3.org/International/ig/">Internationalization Interest Group</a>.</p> <p>This document describes the basic requirements for Indic script layout and text support on the Web and in eBooks.

See also the <a href="http://www.chinaw3c.org/layout-workshop.html">Chinese version of this report</a>.</p> <p>The report contains links to slides.</p> <p>The workshop gave a strong message of support for W3C Beihang and CESI to cooperate and lead the work on the Chinese Layout Requirement Document. In addition to Simplified and Traditional Chinese, there was also strong interest from representatives of the Mongolian, Tibetan and Uighur script communities to participate in the work. The closing session of the workshop proposed a number of steps to continue the efforts.</p> <p>The W3C staff is driving the process of setting up this task force and reaching out to a wide range of interested stakeholders. This consultation will seek to clarify the mission for the task force, the target topics and industry priorities, and opportunities for liaisons with other related standards development organizations.</p> <div class="admin"> <span class="comments-link"><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/2014/12/02/final-report-for-chinese-layout-requirements-workshop-available/#respond">Leave a comment</a></span> </div> <div class="cats"> Tags: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/beijing/" rel="tag">beijing</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/chinese/" rel="tag">chinese</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/layout/" rel="tag">layout</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/report/" rel="tag">report</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/tag/workshop/" rel="tag">workshop</a></strong> </div> <div class="cats">Categories: <strong><a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/announcements/" rel="category tag">Announcements</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/highlight/" rel="category tag">Highlight</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/blog/International/category/x/w3cwebdesign/" rel="category tag">w3cWebDesign</a></strong></div> </div> </div> <?php// endif; ?>   <div class="previousnext"> </div> <hr /> <div class="smallprint" id="endMatter" style="font-size: 80%; text-align: center;"> <span class="copyright">Copyright © 2025 <a href="https://www.w3.org/">World Wide Web Consortium</a>.<br> <abbr title="World Wide Web Consortium">W3C</abbr><sup>®</sup> <a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/#disclaimers">liability</a>, <a href="https://www.w3.org/policies/#trademarks">trademark</a> and <a rel="license" href="https://www.w3.org/copyright/document-license/" title="W3C Document License">permissive license</a> rules apply.</span><br /> Questions or comments? <a href="mailto:xfq@w3.org">xfq@w3.org</a> </div> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> if (document.getElementById) { openIMG='/International/icons/open-thin.gif'; closeIMG='/International/icons/close-thin.gif'; initialhide('DIV', 'toc1'); } </script> <link rel='stylesheet' id='style-css' href='https://www.w3.org/blog/International/wp-content/themes/i18n/style.css?ver=6.6.2' type='text/css' media='all' /> </body> </html>
