Until the 1990s, it wasn’t easy typing characters that didn’t belong to the Latin alphabet. Texts written on one computer were often garbled when viewed on another, and many characters and scripts could not be reliably displayed. Sinographs excluded from officially mandated national curricula, for example, were largely inaccessible, while Indic scripts had to be written with Latin characters. With the advent of the Unicode Standard, however, this wall of inaccessibility came crashing down.
It's #MultilingualMonday and there is always something to celebrate for those working with #multilingualism and under-resourced languages like the
1st #workshop on the #Readability for low resourced languages
which will take place online on 5th Sept. 2023!

You have until 1st August 2023 for your abstract submission!
The ALLEA @ALLEA Working Group E-Humanities
https://allea.org/e-humanities/
has launched an open consultation draft about recommendations on the recognition, assessment, and evaluation
of innovative #digital scholarly outputs in the #humanities.
Scholars working with under-resourced languages and #multilingual #DH might be interested in adding their perspective and can contribute here:

Happy #MultilingualMonday everyone!
The Working Group E-Humanities identifies and raises awareness for priorities and concerns of the digital humanities, contributes to the Open Science and Open Access agenda from a humanities and social sciences perspective, and builds consensus on common standards and best practices in e-humanities scholarship and digitisation.
This place is full of gems and it's #MultilingualMonday so let's celebrate them with special thanks to the great work achieved by @behdad on enabling #multilingual text rendering in software.

It's #MultilingualMonday and we want to celebrate today the new UK/IE Community Interest Group
'Protecting the Investigator in Traumatic Research Areas' (PeTRA)
Many scholars in #multilingual #DH work with under-resourced languages on the kind of traumatic and sensitive subject matters covered by PeTRA.
If you are one of them, and you want to be part of this project or simply find out more about it, please contact Vicky Garnett @vickstar79 at [email protected]
We are back after #DARIAH Annual Event where two themes kept feeding passionate exchanges: #openscience & #opensource.
These are crucial topics for those working with under-resourced languages so let's make a pause on our #MultilingualMonday to reflect on
what #openscience can learn from #opensource
with @jdelacueva and this summary article by Lieke de Boer from @eScienceCenter
