London, UK and Washington DC, 6th of April 2010 - Today, LTC announced that it has joined the MultilingualWeb, an EU funded project headed by a prominent W3C member. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organisations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards. Led by Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee and CEO Jeffrey Jaffe, W3C's mission is to lead the Web to its full potential.

The MultilingualWeb project aims to to build on and move forward current internationalisation of the Web by raising awareness of existing best practices and standards related to managing content on the multilingual Web, and developing new standards and defining best practices applicable in the future.

“As experts in machine translation, pioneers in the use of many linguistic tools such as translation memory technology, and innovative software developers ourselves, we are in a great position to collaborate with other partners in the MultlingualWeb project,” said Dr. Adriane Rinsche, managing director of LTC.

In September, LTC participated in the first of 4 workshops in Madrid, where Dr. Rinsche chaired the ‘Developers’ session that included experts from the W3C, Google, Microsoft, Opera and Mozilla.
