Day 13 | The Multilingual Encyclopedia

The encyclopedia is something people would read when they have some problems or doubts. Nowadays, with the development of technology and the internet, people are used to checking their mobile devices when facing problems. Therefore, the encyclopedia turns paper into electronic. Wikipedia is one of the most well-known and popular online encyclopedia. Since it has tens of thousands of audiences and readers, who are coming from different countries and areas, Wikipedia provides different language versions. As the image shows above, readers can switch different languages depending on themselves. On the one hand, it can increase the number of their audiences. On the other hand, it is accessible to people all around the world. However, there are still some limitations. For example, some pages only have one to three kinds of languages. If Wikipedia can add more languages, it will largely improve its accessibility.
