“All languages around the world are facing the same fact: English has become THE language of basic scientific publications today, throughout all topics. The only manner other linguistic communities can access cutting-edge scientific information is through translation and simultaneous interpretation during congresses and conferences. Thus, every language stands a chance of remaining alive and up-to-date in scientific topics as well as preserving coherent specialized terminologies, which are indispensable in the teaching of sciences to our young people as well as the circulation of scientific information to the public.”
Jean-Claude Corbeil
Former Deputy Minister for Language Policy in Quebec
