        Subject: Multilingual DH group

Dear all,

Following a workshop on doing DH in non-Latin scripts at DH 2019, a group of
people interested in increasing support for DH in languages other than English
has put together a grass-roots initiative to aggregate and annotate information
about existing tools and resources at http://multilingualdh.org/. (Much work
remains to be done on the site, including setting up the infrastructure to
support translating it.)

We also have a mailing list set up for discussion (in any language) of
multilingual DH issues:
https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/multilingual-dh. All are welcome!

In addition to expanding the infrastructure, content, and translations of the
website, we are in the process of drafting an ADHO SIG proposal. As GO::DH is in
the process of applying to become a CO in order to better advocate for people
doing DH work in areas of the world that don't have a CO, we believe there is
a need for a SIG focused on supporting linguistic diversity in DH. We welcome
input on the proposal in this Google Doc:

There's also a space to add your name as a supporter.

If your DH work involves languages other than English, we’d love to have you
join us! I'm also happy to answer any questions, via email or Twitter
(@quinnanya).

All the best,

Quinn Dombrowski
