Preparations for HIE 2023 are well in hand! It's a chance for opensim residents whose first language is not English to tell their stories, share their experiences, demonstrate their art - all in their own languages. Simultaneous 'subtitles' will make it possible for everyone to follow the event - even English speakers! To learn more, follow the HIE blog https://hieopensim.blogspot.com/
