Historically, publishing in general, and journal publishing in particular, has been dominated by a relatively small portion of the world and by European languages and English in particular. This is changing; there are not only increasing numbers of journals in other languages, there is a growing need to support multilingual journal articles. Multilingual content is much more than block quotes in French or Latin inside a article in English. Familiar examples from current publishing practice include an article in two original languages (the Canadian author wrote both French and English versions) or in an original language and one or more translations (a French/English article was also translated into Spanish).
