Please note that you have to download the guide for each language, one y one. The document is not " multilingual, stricto sensu. However, a very shocking omission in this guide : Page 53, Chapter 15. " Languages worldwide " , English edition, they wrote this : " The most widely spoken languages in the world today are: 1. Chinese (726 million people) 2. English (427 million) 3. Spanish (266 million) 4. Hindi (182 million) 5. Arabic (181 million) 6. Portuguese (165 million) 7. Bengali (162 million) 8. Russian (158 million) 9. Japanese (124 million) 10.German (121 million) " Where is French? May I remind the authors that, according to the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), in 2006-2007, the total number of French-speaking people in the world was : 195,508,100 individuals, of which 136,456,100 real/full French-speakers and 59,052,000 partial French-speakers !! (Source : http://www.francophonie.org/IMG/pdf/Fcs_enjeu_21esiecle.pdf) This is an inacceptable omission, all the more because the authors are Swiss :-) Please note also that there is not even a word about this language distribution in the French version ! I'll write to the authors. Have a nice day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
