[Chapter-delegates] Fwd: Request for participation - ISOC 'Sphere' Project

[Erkki I. Kolehmainen]

A small side note: The use of any national flag to identify a language
is seen highly discriminating - insulting, in fact - by many native
speakers of the language. A better choice would be to list the names of
the languages in their own language.

Sincerely,

Fred et al,

I think there is priority for ISOC in translation, is to have the ISOC
site accessible for non-english speakers.

I'm not talking about translating the whole site.

What I'm talking about, is that if you are Spanish and arrive on
www.isoc.org, then you will see something (a flag may be) that will
guide you through a page in Spanish, that will explain what ISOC is and
how to participate with ISOC when you speak only Spanish.

This is something I have been fighting for, for years and this is
something ISOC should spend some resources on.

Cheers
