Distributed Proofreaders Europe (DP Europe) has used the software of the original Distributed Proofreaders, created in 2000 by Charles Franks to share the correction of ebooks among many volunteers. DP Europe has offered a plurilingual interface right from the start, with its main pages translated into 12 European languages by volunteer translators as soon as April 2004. The long-term goal was 60 languages, for the interface to be available in most European languages. # In 2005 In May 2005, DP Europe finished processing its 100th ebook. These ebooks were in several languages, as a reflection of European linguistic diversity. DP Europe has supported Unicode to be able to proofread ebooks in many languages. 600 ebooks were available in February 2009. In July 2005, there were works in 42 languages in Project Gutenberg, including Sanskrit and the Mayan languages. The seven main languages were English (with 14,548 ebooks on July 27, 2005), French (577 ebooks), German (349 ebooks), Finnish (218 ebooks), Dutch (130 ebooks), Spanish (103 ebooks), and Chinese (69 ebooks). # In 2006 Released in December 2006, eBook #20000 was the audiobook of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (Vingt mille lieues sous les mers, 1869), by Jules Verne, in its English version. In December 2006, there were ebooks in 50 languages. The ten main languages were English (with 17,377 ebooks on December 16, 2006), French (966 ebooks), German (412 ebooks), Finnish (344 ebooks), Dutch (244 ebooks), Spanish (140 ebooks), Italian (102 ebooks), Chinese (69 ebooks), Portuguese (68 ebooks), and Tagalog (51 ebooks). # In 2007 Project Gutenberg Canada (PGC) was launched on July 1st, 2007, on Canada Day. Distributed Proofreaders Canada (DPC) started production in December 2007, with 100 ebooks in English, French, and Italian in March 2008, and 250 ebooks in February 2009. # In 2010 On October 7, 2010, there were works in 59 languages in Project Gutenberg. The ten main languages were English (with 28,441 ebooks), French (1,659 ebooks), German (709 ebooks), Finnish (536 ebooks), Dutch (496 ebooks), Portuguese (473 ebooks), Chinese (405 ebooks), Spanish (295 ebooks), Italian (250 ebooks), and Greek (101 ebooks). They were followed by Latin, Esperanto, Swedish, and Tagalog. # In 2020, may be It is hoped machine translation software will be able to convert the ebooks from one to another of many languages. In ten years from now, machine translation may be judged 99% satisfactory - research is active on that front, and software is quickly improving – allowing for the reading of literary classics in a choice of many languages. The machine translated ebooks won't compete with the work of literary translators and their labor of love during days and months if not years, but they would allow readers to get the gist of some literary works that have never been translated so far, or only translated in a few languages, for commercial reasons.
