New digital services dedicated to Regional and Minority Languages
The European Bureau for Lesser Used Languages (EBLUL) has launched, in cooperation with the MERCATOR centres, the so-called MININF project; a name which stands for Minority Information. The objective of the project is to make lesser used languages more visible in the field of new technologies, and especially on the Internet. In order to achieve this, MININF has been conceived to offer 4 different digital services: 1) the Internet portal Lingualia; 2) a web-hosting service at the service of associations; 3) thematic activities open to the general public; and 4) virtual offices to foster better European cooperation. The site is already up and running at: (  www.lingualia.net < http://www.lingualia.net/
