* 22 languages on LabourStart - and this is only the beginning

A BETTER WAY TO SEARCH THE WEB

Ever searched for a word like 'strikers'? Google gives you links about
football.

Wouldn't it be great to have an intelligent search engine designed by trade
unionists, for trade unionists, that showed truly useful results?

Good news - that search engine now exists. A fantastic initiative by the
International Labor Organization (ILO), Solicomm is our very own trade union
search engine.

You can now use Solicomm from the front page of LabourStart -- look in the
upper left corner.

22 LANGUAGES ON LABOURSTART - AND THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING

With the addition of Bulgarian, Farsi (Persian), Arabic and Hebrew,
LabourStart is now available in 22 languages. I'd like to thank all the
volunteer translators and correspondents who have done such outstanding work
in making labour news available to people all over the world. If your
language is not one of the 22 on our list and if you're willing to help us
with a bit of translation and keeping the page updated, write to me. There
are 6,000 languages spoken in the world today so this is just the tip of the
iceberg.

[Note: the Solicomm search site can be found at https://www.solicomm.net/]
