The United Nations Conference on climate change known as COP 17 is over, but the reality of climate change remains.

...Google Traduction rend accessible le Web aux utilisateurs du monde entier. Ainsi, les barrières linguistiques parviennent quelque peu à s’estomper et il devient possible, par exemple, pour un utilisateur francophone, de saisir l’idée générale se cachant derrière une page Web rédigée exclusivement en allemand, qui se trouve à être la langue maternelle de Franz-Josef Och, ou en toutes autres langues étrangères.
Les mutations ainsi que les relatives ouvertures politique, médiatique et économique que connait l'Algérie depuis un peu plus de trois décennies, ont une incidence directe sur le contexte publicitaire où la dynamique sociolinguistique ne cesse de s'accentuer. L'unilinguisme et le bilinguisme officiels consacrés jusque-là dans la communication médiatique s'en sont trouvés bouleversés par l'idéologie du marché, laquelle tend à imposer ses contraintes linguistiques et culturelles qui vont dans le sens de la pluralité. Cette réalité plurilingue a fait l'objet, dans cette thèse, d'un questionnement visant , d'abord, à saisir la manifestation de cette diversité et son exploitation par les créatifs, et ensuite, à mesurer l'impact de ces usages inventifs et parfois transgressifs sur les représentations qu'ont les sujets algériens des différentes langues et sur leurs attitudes quant aux usages qui en sont faits.....

International physics teams Tuesday narrowed down the hiding place of the so-called “God particle.” The “God particle” gets its nickname from its elusiveness, sought for decades in experiments aimed at detecting the subatomic particle. That particle, when found, will answer why other subatomic particles weigh what they do and perhaps will open the door to explaining the mystery of gravity. By literally smashing together atomic particles and seeing what pieces emerge from the collisions, two physics teams at Europe’s CERN lab report they have seen evidence of the God particle’s existence. CERN Director Rolf-Dieter Heuer described at the briefing the results as “tantalizing” but not a “conclusive” detection of their quarry, known to physicists as the “Higgs boson.”
.... sujet d’inquiétude : la place de l’euskara. Si l’idiome est inscrit comme “langue de travail” dans les statuts de l’eurorégion, aux côtés de l’espagnol et du français, il n’a fait l’objet que de quelques phrases prononcées par P. López lundi. A. Rousset, bien que prônant le “réapprentissage des langues, basque, français et espagnol” dans l’eurorégion, pour faire face “à l’usage de l’anglais”, a exécuté son discours intégral dans la langue de Molière.....

Un demi-siècle après son indépendance, l’Afrique reste une colonie du point de vue linguistique.... Les langues européennes ne sont pas adaptées pour exprimer la réalité africaine. Odejobi Odetunji Ajadi, de l’Université Obafemi Awolo, Ile Ife, au Nigeria affirme ainsi que « la langue française décrit la culture française, le vécu français. Ma langue, ajoute-t-il, est la seule qui me permet de décrire ma vision du monde ». Toutes les langues sont bien le reflet de la culture des personnes qui les parlent. Comme le dit le nigérian Tunde Adegbola avec une pointe d’ironie : « Il est plus facile de voler en anglais. Dans ma langue, les expressions « détournement » ou « comptabilité créative » n’existent pas. En Yoruba, nous n’avons qu’un seul mot “vol”!
A massive inter-language translation exercise has brought to light an enviably rich treasure trove of children’s literature of the NE region that has remained obscured so far. The venture has been undertaken jointly by the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) and city-based voluntary organisation Anwesha.
It includes inter-language translation of children’s literatures of Assamese, Bodo, Garo, Khasi, Manipuri and Mizo languages. In all 180 books would be published under this project with each of these languages getting 30 books.

Does “for us men and for our salvation” include women? Latin has the word for “a man” = vir. It has a word for “a woman” = mulier. It has a word for both of them together = homines, which may be translated in Brooklynese as “youse guys.” It is very sad that English texts - both old and “new” -- mandated by the Vatican bureaucracy mistranslate the Latin and make everyone -- including women -- profess belief that Jesus came down from Heaven “for us men and our salvation.” If you speak the English language of today, this wording leaves out women. I know some say that “women” are automatically included whenever you say “men,” but I wouldn’t advise following that logic and have a female enter a public “Men’s Room.” It is shameful that the pastoral sensitivity to time and place called for by the new evangelization has been ignored by using gender exclusive terms at Mass.
