  1. I hoped to find a French expression for Digital Humanities Empowerment but cannot yet find a French version of the web site. When will the site be available in French?

  2. Dear Elisabeth,
    This website will offer, as usual, a call for papers in several languages, thank to the huge work of the MLMC committee, that you chair so well. Many thanks for all this important work!

    The other pages of the DH2014 website are simply in English, as it is the case on http://www.dh2012.uni-hamburg.de/. The DH 2012 website was not translated in German.

    Moreover, the notion of «empowerment» is usually employed as English word in French, for example in psychiatric analysis, etc. If I would translate it… I would first think to ancient Greek and to the word «endunameomai», for example :-)
    Best, Claire
