Many languages are spoken in British Columbia, Canada. Statistics Canada estimates that 18% of people BC use a language other than English at home. So it's not surprising there are blogs by BC people, or about BC, which are in languages other than English. This page attempts to catalogue those non-English langage blogs by or about British Columbia. Rules- BC focus: Either the blog's writers must be substantially in British Columbia, Canada, or the blog's topic must substantially be about BC.
- Polyglot: Blog must have substantial original content in a language other than English.
- Active: Blog must have at least four original non-English posts in the last 12 months.
- Multilingual: Special recognition for blogs which have substantial content in more than one language.
- Blog: Must be a "blog" or other social media form. Websites, even with regular updates, don't count. Should have one or more of: "blog" or "tweet" or "vlog" identity, regular time-based updates, RSS or other feed for following. If in doubt, nominate the site, and we'll adjust the directory to allow for diverse media.
This directory is moderated. To submit a blog to the directory, use this website's Contact form for Jim DeLaHunt to send a message. It helps if you can supply all the information in the table below. We will review it and post. |

Twanguages: a language census of Twitter |

What "twanguage" do you "tweet"? Twitter, the buzzing conversation of brief web and SMS messsages, exploded into wide use in 2009. But just how wide? To how many countries has it spread? And into which languages? I'm aiming to find out. I've started a project named "Twanguages", a language census of a sample of Twitter's global traffic. I'm curious: which are the top languages? Are #hashtags localised? How does language correlate with location? And which Unicode character is the most rarely used? I presented our initial results at the 33rd Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC33), held in San Jose, California, on October 14-16, 2009. Take a look at the "Twanguages: a language census for Twitter" IUC33 session page for the paper and slides. Follow @twanguages on Twitter for news. Stay tuned!  |

 I gave a presentation, "International and multilingual Drupal and Joomla! sites", to LinuxFest Northwest on April 25, 2009. Below are links to my slides and handouts.
LinuxFest Northwest 2009, held at Bellingham Technical College in Bellingham, WA, USA, was a delightful event. It's thoroughly grassroots and volunteer, it has a friendly and accessible vibe, yet it attracts very knowledgeable people. (Here's the #LFNW Twitter feed if you are interested.) |
