A Multilingual Concept Mapping Tool for a Diverse World
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today’s world culture wealth is based on the diversity of language and cultures that are an inherent part of the identity of its countries and regions. Education has a preeminent responsibility to preserve world’s cultural heritage. Computer-based learning tools among other issues must also take into account the variety of languages. Along this paper some issues about the localisation of the CM-ED Concept Map EDitor are presented. First, some aspects related to software localisation are introduced. Then, the main characteristics of CM-ED are briefly described. Finally, the two levels in which localisation techniques have been applied over CM-ED are showed. CM-ED is localisable not only at user interface level but also regarding the final concept maps it generates.
