The majority of the pages on this wiki are in English. Here are some of the reasons: * Wiki was created in the United States where the predominant language is English. * The language is understood in most parts of the world, and is in many cases the second if not the first language used for computing, science and technology. * Wiki attempts to be universal in appeal, and uses the language with the most universal usage, which at present seems to be English. * While pages exist in several languages including Spanish, French, Greek, Italian, to name a few, users are encouraged to write in a language which nearly all of the participants can become involved. * When a page is written in a foreign language, translation utilities do not do justice to the meaning of the page, and as a result the page can not have maximum impact. * Nobody has presented a good argument for any specific alternative language. * Everyone's computer has the simple ASCII characters needed for writing English. ---- Pages on programming in languages other than English: * ProgrammingWhenNotSpeakingEnglish ---- What is English related to: * EnglishLikeFeatures ---- Where are foreign languages translated (to English): * BabylonTranslator * http:translate ---- Where Other Languages are used: * ChristopheDucamp * LesPleiades * MontrealXpCoachingPresentation * MontrealXpMockObjectsPresentation * PourquoiWikiMarche * UnMinutoItalianoWiki * WikiEnUneMinute * WikiTranslator ---- English is spoken of on these WikiPage''''''s: * AmericanCulturalAssumption * AmericanEnglish * AngloSaxonLanguage * BritishCulturalAssumption * CategoryNaturalLanguage * CulturallyNeutralLanguage * DuttonSpeedWords * EnglishLanguage * EstonianLanguage * FrenchLanguage * FrisianLanguage * GenderNeutralLanguage * HowWouldLojbanEnableAi * KlingonLanguage * LojbanLanguage * LojbanPoem * LojbanicJars * MalGlico * MicrosoftEnglish * NearEmptyPage * ProperEnglish * PurityOfEnglish * RefactorEnglish * SimplifiedEnglish * RulesOfLojban * WeniWidiWiki * WikiNamePluralProblem * WordOrder * YouCanImproveMyEnglish ---- CategoryNaturalLanguage
