Global University Website Interlanguage Link Age
This page measures the average age of interlanguage links on university websites globally. Interlanguage links connect different language versions of the same web page, allowing users to easily navigate between them. A younger average age suggests that these links are being updated regularly, indicating well-maintained multilingual content.
These figures are derived from a novel analysis that involves systematically scraping and examining interlanguage links across a large number of university websites. This process allows us to quantify the 'staleness' of translated content and provides insight into how effectively academic institutions are managing their global digital presence.
Understanding the age of these links helps us gauge the commitment of universities to providing accessible and current information to a diverse, international audience. It's a practical indicator of how well their multilingual web infrastructure is being supported.
