As frontiers dilute more and more, the need for a global language arises. [...]
Indeed. I really hope that it isn't English, because the English are too lazy at learning languages and that puts most of my homeland at a massive disadvantage! For example, the state's schools no longer teach non-English languages for all after 14 years old and still less than half of 7-11 schools teach them.
Monday is European Day of Languages. What will everyone do for it? http://www.ecml.at/edl/ (but not http://www.ecml.at/jel/ !)
By the way, it might also be unjust, if neither party involved in a dispute speaks the English of an agreement they both made with the involvement of a third party (the original work's licensor). If they didn't understand the agreement's wording, could they really consent? From this discussion, it seems so, although it should be translated early in a dispute.
Best wishes,
