Episode 009 – Language & The Euroblogosphere
This week, Joe Litobarski is joined by Conor Slowey, Julien Frisch, Jon Worth, Matthew Lowry and Frank Schnittger to talk about the problem of the language barrier in European blogging.
The debate follows on from the recent euroblog meet-up that was arranged around the same topic. So, what can be done to solve the language problem in the euroblogging? Some sort of voluntary effort to translate blogs? Would EU funding set off the eurosceptics and make it look like a conspiracy? Or will Google translate solve all our problems.
All this and more in this week’s podcast.

Thanks – you shouldn’t worry about giving your opinion on the Euroblogosphere’s direction; we’d be happy to hear any suggestions and ideas (Eurobloggers are generally happy to discover that they’ve readers!).
Hope you’re enjoying Chasing Brussels so far.

[...] It’s a recurring problem in the European institutions, some officials complaining from time to time about the decline of their mother language in the debates, French not being the last about that. This is also a discussed question in the European Bloggosphere where reaching as much citizen as possible is an issue [*]. [...]
