How multilingual is Europeana?
The Europeana interface is available in all official EU languages, so users will be addressed in their own language. For now, searches will trawl the languages in which the objects are stored: searching for ‘treaty’ will only yield English material. In the years to come, the application of semantic technologies will gradually enable cross-language searches so that searching for “treaty” will lead to results with “treaty”, “traité”, “trattato”, etc.
