Developing Multilingual Webpages Multilingual Welcome Pages

Developing Multilingual Webpages

Project Timeline November 2006Libraries’ Public Services Council approved the project; World Languages Task Force was formed. June 2007The master text (in English) of the Welcome page was approved. Fall 2007The Chinese Team was established. Spring 2008Chinese translation was finalized; two versions (Simplified and Traditional Chinese) were rendered. September 2008Welcome pages in five languages (English, Arabic, Chinese, French, and Spanish) were released; The Chinese Team informed two international student groups.

Developing Multilingual Webpages Language Issues in Translation Names –Namesakes of libraries (e.g. Alexander Library) –City names (e.g. New Brunswick) –Name of the University: 羅格斯 (luogesi) Library Jargons –library “privileges”: 特權 (tequan) / 權利（ quanli ） vs. 權益 (quanyi) Regional differences (Mainland vs. Hong Kong vs. Taiwan) –Eager to help: 熱情（ reqing ） vs. 熱心 (rexin)

Developing Multilingual Webpages Our “motto”
