Spoken and Written Language
While English is widely understood in the Fab Lab Network, work is done in a variety of spoken and written languages within Fab Labs -- and often a combination of a local language and English. As a community, we like to see more content, documentation, and sharing of ideas and experience, regardless of the language.
Units
SI Units are preferred. Imperial units are often convenient in the US, so they'll happen too.
Automatic Translation Tools
Integrating automatic translation tools in to Fab Lab websites (through Drupal and WordPress plugins) can help to reduce language barriers where they exist.
