That may work for finding a pizza near you, but most of the content on the web is in English and like it or not, English is the most common language even across the EU.
Separating the EU internet across languages doesn't look like such a good idea to me. Except for getting funding from the nazi parties.
Lots of people in French and german speaking countries do search in their respective language, as do spanish and chinese speaking people.
I don't see it as separating the eu internet accross language. I bet Google/Bing and any search engine has a language metadata in its index anyway and I don't understand your link with nazi parties.
Programming might be English but our lives aren't all in English.
Also, I don't get your argument at the end. Are you saying they're funded by Nazi parties?
> Programming might be English but our lives aren't all in English.
Yep. I look up restaurants/stores/medical clinics near me on Google because that's where they are. Mostly on Maps not the search engine tho.
But it's not only programming. How's the Polish wikipedia on any random topic of international interest that you want to check out? The Romanian wikipedia is usually ... much shorter than the English one. With the exception of local topics of course.
How many nazi/right wing parties are you thinking are in charge of funding in European countries? Most governments fall pretty far left of either American party.
I also think there are lots of people looking to search in their own language, because that's their language, rather than some kind of right wing tie?
I read it has limiting the scope so they can fine tune their code/index before going bigger with other languages.
