Languages - About

 * Each language is an university or a school, like the English one.
 * Add languages below, and create a link to a new page for each new subject to list courses.
 * Also see http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Languages
 * Create World University and School in this language, any way you want, but you can start, too, using 'Courses' and 'Subjects.'
 * For each new language, which will become a University and School itself, add language instruction in that language, and to/from that language.
 * If literacy is a big key to reducing the population explosion especially in the emerging world, WUaS would like to prioritize its wiki language universities & schools' development (the plan is to develop a school in each of 3000-8000 languages) for women beginning around age 5 in countries with highest birth rates on OLPCs and similar computers

WUaS Universal Translator & Google Translate
World University, building on Google Translate with its at least 52 languages - http://translate.google.com/# - may become the basis for a WUaS Universal Translator, for both translation and academic research.
