Today I had the pleasure of meeting Prof. Toshiya Tsukamoto (in the center of the picture) at a meeting the the Kumamoto International Center. Prof. Tsukamoto runs the Kumamoto Earthquakes Multilingual Information & Situation Reports (by The Respect Program of Osaka University) website:

http://www.respect.osaka-u.ac.jp/activities/notice/kumamoto_earthquakes_multilingual/

It’s particularly interesting because it provides information in many languages.

The pictures is from the following Japanese article about the site:

“母語で安心届ける 外国人向けに阪大が12言語対応情報サイト” http://mainichi.jp/articles/20160522/ddn/041/040/014000c
