Thank you for the kind words, Shayna. Although there is no "language website" created for the online conferences, since conferences are accessed by people all around the world, many of whom do not use English as their first language, the site refers to three different free translations services available: http://babelfish.yahoo.com/ http://www.tranexp.com:2000/Translate/result.shtml http://translate.google.com/?hl=en# There have also been a few papers that have been available in language other than English - I can remember papers that are in French, Spanish, Italian from past conferences over the years, and there is a newsletter on this conference available in Flemish (as well as in English).The 10th online conference had two significant features in other languages. 1) Messages about Self-Help From Around the World featured videos of 21 individuals representing their self-help groups in 21 different countries. You can still view these videos at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/videos10/videos10.html 2. The conference also featured translations of two Stuttering Foundation brochures into 17 different languages (Albanian, Bulgarian, Czech, Chinese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Icelandic, Japanese, Korean, Napalese, Norwegian, Portuguese, and Russian.). They are in PDF format and remain downloadable at http://www.mnsu.edu/comdis/isad10/papers/translation10/translation10.html
