Language Policy

The European Library aims to ensure that as many people as possible can
access relevant and up-to-date information. We want to support the
expansion of knowledge and the research of the academic communities
throughout Europe and the world.

In order to meet those goals, we do our best to provide the public with the
information they are looking for in their own language.

Our aim is to:

   - Provide all top-level pages and the interface of the website in the 36
   European languages spoken in the Council of Europe. This is possible
   whenever translations are provided by our network of volunteer translators.
   - Utilise Wikipedia to update information on the Partners and
   Contributors section of the portal. Where translations are available from
   the Wikipedia entry, they will also be available on this website.
   - Put an open-source translation tool in place, in order to give users
   the ability to translate as much of the site into as many languages as
   possible. This will be available later in 2012.

These are our guidelines for translations.

   1. Tools to manage translation will be developed and maintained by The
   European Library Office.
   2. The completion of the translations will be the responsibility of each
   partner library.
   3. The European Library Office will notify each library should an update
   be required but will not chase for that update.
   4. Information that is urgent or has a very short life is in English
   only (news items, ad-hoc error messages)
   5. All surveys about the site will be produced in all feasible languages
   only.
   6. Search Engine Promotion will be executed in English, in the first
   instance.
   7. The exhibitions will be primarily in English with limited translation
   into other languages, where possible.
   8. Papers, reports and other official documents will be maintained
   solely in English, as the working language of The European Library.

If, however, an individual library wishes to translate and maintain any of
the above from within their own resources, The European Library would be
happy to enable its display.
