Travelers pages possible." Regarding the internet and languages in
general, "I think computerized full-text translations will become more
common, enabling a lot of basic communications with even more people.
This will also help bring the internet more completely to the non-
English speaking world."

= The Human-Languages Page

Created by Tyler Chambers in May 1994, the Human-Languages Page (H-LP)
was a comprehensive catalog of 1,800 language-related internet
resources in 100 languages. In September 1998, there were six subject
listings and two category listings. The six subject listings were:
languages and literature, schools and institutions, linguistics
resources, products and services, organizations, jobs and internships.
The two category listings were: dictionaries, and language lessons.

Tyler Chambers' other language-related project was the Internet
Dictionary Project (IDP), launched in 1995. As explained on the
project's website in September 1998: "The Internet Dictionary Project's
goal is to create royalty-free translating dictionaries through the
help of the internet's citizens. This site allows individuals from all
over the world to visit and assist in the translation of English words
into other languages. The resulting lists of English words and their
translated counterparts are then made available through this site to
anyone, with no restrictions on their use. (...) The Internet
Dictionary Project began in 1995 in an effort to provide a noticeably
lacking resource to the internet community and to computing in general
-- free translating dictionaries. Not only is it helpful to the online
community to have access to dictionary searches at their fingertips via
the World Wide Web, it also sponsors the growth of computer software
which can benefit from such dictionaries -- from translating programs
to spelling-checkers to language-education guides and more. By
facilitating the creation of these dictionaries online by thousands of
anonymous volunteers all over the internet, and by providing the
results free-of-charge to anyone, the Internet Dictionary Project hopes
to leave its mark on the internet and to inspire others to create
projects which will benefit more than a corporation's gross income."

Tyler wrote in an email interview in September 1998: "Multilingualism
on the web was inevitable even before the medium 'took off', so to
speak. 1994 w
