Should one of these languages happen to be your mother tongue, you are most welcome to send us articles in that language, together with a synopsis in English of approximately 25% of the length of the article. These articles need not necessarily be technical - they could have a history-and-heritage flavour (e.g. how things were when you were a child and how civil engineering has changed that), or why you chose civil engineering as a career, or anything interesting and relevant to the civil engineering environment that you would like to share with readers in your mother tongue.</FONT></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><B></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"><B> <FONT COLOR="#000000" SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The July magazine will be featuring AFRIKAANS. </FONT></B></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"></SPAN><SPAN LANG="en-us"> </SPAN></P>
