| We are from different countries with different culture, language, background, and environment.
Our blood is different, but we share every bit of this world as we breathe and as our hearts
beat to the rhythm of our intertwined lives.
In today¡¯s vast and complex world of 6.5 Billion people speaking over 150 official languages and
3,000+ dialects, the value of inter and trans national and regional communication, connection,
networking, and sharing is inevitable and necessary means.
Our coexistence must not be defined by narrowing down the communication method, but rather,
by opening up more ways to communicate. In the heart of the ongoing international and intergovernmental efforts, the issue of Multilingualism
has surfaced as a key issue to address the concerns of numerous countries who fear that
Internet will be dominate in a language that is neither their own nor officially widely spoken
natively around the world.This consortium was established by those who could envision the state of a genuine Information
Society where Internet is easily accessible and available.
Such state cannot come about unless and foremost the language barrier is overcome.
By promoting the Native Language Internet, whether it is a solution, a service, technology, and/or
a product, this consortium labor in unison to bring recognition in the need of global awareness of
this human element that must be Trans-implemented in the process of developing a better Internet
world.
We know that this journey is an uphill, but nothing worthwhile is ever easy.
