Making the web a more welcoming place for minority languages
Making the web a more welcoming place for minority languages
In this talk I will instead focus on some of the smaller steps that we as designers and technologists can take to make the web a more inclusive and welcoming place for our minority language users.

However, in this talk I will instead focus on some of the smaller steps that we as designers and technologists can take to make the web a more inclusive and welcoming place for our minority language users.
