COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 11, 1995 -- Those with an interest in Spanish
and Mexican culture can turn to two forums on the CompuServe
Information Service designed specifically to provide information and
interaction among the Spanish-speaking international community.
CompuServe's Spanish Forum (GO SPFORUM) offers
information on Spain including discussion of its various communities, its
politics and food, technical issues and tourism. In addition to
information about Spain, the forum's libraries feature the best of
shareware, freeware and general files on how to get the most out of
CompuServe. The Spanish Forum encourages members to leave
messages in Spanish, Catalan and other languages spoken in Spain. The
international online community will respond to questions and answer
messages in any of these languages (or English).
The Mexico Forum (GO MEXICO) offers a variety of
information related to economic, cultural and tourism opportunities in
and around Mexico. For those interested in doing business in Mexico,
sources include major trade organizations, public and private financial
institutions, as well as updated legal and regulatory information. Those
interested in traveling to the area will enjoy the entertainment, food and
restaurant information. The rich histories of Latin America and Mexico
also are discussed in this forum, including archaeological and
environmental topics.
CompuServe is the only worldwide information service,
providing access to members in more than 150 countries. International
content includes the World Community Forum, where messages are
machine-translated between English and Spanish, English and French
and English and German. Members can exchange messages, each
writing and reading in their preferred language, with the system
translating between the two. The service also includes the Foreign
Language Forum; a number of technical support forums in Spanish and
other languages; and international news from the Associated Press,
United Press International and a number of internationally based news
organizations.
