Announcing a lecture of interest to those working on multilingual
web pages:

Cathy Wissink
(Program Manager, Microsoft; Chair, Technical Committee L2 "Codes and
Character Sets" subcommittee of the National Committee for Information
Technology Standards)

"The Challenge of Developing Technology for All the World's Languages:
Unicode, Windows, and Tools Development"

Friday, Sept. 24
12 noon
1229 Dwinelle Hall
(enter building from the bottom level on the northwest side of Dwinelle,
beside the parking lot)

One of the problems facing educators (and general users) who are
developing online multilingual materials is the need to be able to type,
send, and print in various languages and writing systems. This talk will
focus on the new technologies being developed by the Windows International
team to meet this demand. Topics will include the (free) Microsoft
Keyboard Layout Creator, which allows users to set up their own keyboards,
Language Interface Packs (LIPs), and other new technologies being
developed for the .NET Framework and Windows "Longhorn".
