The CG sites will be both in local language and in English. For some countries the site may also be developed in another international language (such as Spanish, French, Russian etc). This will be a major advantage in comparison to other global portals.

What about GDG. Will it support local languages home pages, DB, dicussion forums, chat, e-government platform? e-government platform should basically support local language since both general population and government officers normally speak native language and all the official docs are developed in local language.
