Do NLP Beyond English
I am not a native English-speaker, but my dream is that the world gradually converges on a single standard for international communication, and that this standard is English, so that an ever-growing proportion of the population will become fluent in it. I understand various reasons for why this is unlikely to happen; and I realise that there&#x27;ve been lots of centrifugal forces lately that make this vision ever less likely; but I can&#x27;t help but smile inwardly when I hear that NLP is so much focused on English, and can&#x27;t help rooting for it to remain so.
