  22. Some remarks (1) • Why isn’t the logic of the terrific language system for the screens also possible for the subjects?

  23. Some remark (2) • The system causes no problem for unilingual users or libraries with unilingual material, well for librarians of a library that serves people speaking several languages or having material in several languages: all of them use some kind of translating system, going from papertools to automatic translation

  24. Some remarks (3) • All english is a solution that tackles perhaps 90% of the problems, not all of them, especially in the legal and cultural area, where some concepts are not translated at all

  25. Some remarks (4) • Even in the public libraries, bilingualism will increase, along with the emergence of regional approaches (see the Spanish example)
