- The Web is very useful for delivering language lessons, and there is a big demand for this.
- The Unicode (ISO 10646) character set standard is very important and will greatly assist in making the Internet more multilingual.
*Interview of January 15, 2000
= What exactly do you do professionally?
I teach computing (through the Gaelic language) at a college on the island of Skye in Scotland. I maintain the college website, which is the main site worldwide with information on Scottish Gaelic.
= What do you think of the debate about copyright on the Web?
I haven't been following the debate, but I think the duration of copyright is far too long. Other than that I think that copyright should be respected in general.
= How do you see the growth of a multilingual Web?
There is a danger that English will take over the world because of the spread of the Internet. However, if people are keen to maintain other languages, then the Internet will help with this.
