The ESO web site is now available in twelve languages
As of today, 18 September 2009, ESO is pleased to announce that
important parts of its extensive website have been translated into
eleven European languages, covering all ESO member states as well as
some additional countries. Many more readers will now be able to learn...
all about ESO's impressive telescopes and projects in their own
languages. These include the most advanced observing facility in the
world, the Very Large Telescope, as well as the Atacama Large
Millimeter/submillimeter Array and the planned European Extremely Large
Telescope. ESO press releases will also now be available in these
languages, in addition to descriptions of ESO-related events taking
place in the ESO member states.
