Translated from the serbian side of my website, under "customs of north-American tribes at turn* of the centuries":

Word "international" is here often used in the meaning "in other languages" or "in the rest of the world". Let's say, "we ship goods to 'international' addresses" (I wish they could count at least one such**). Or a programmer needs to make an "international version of the application", that is for just one more language.

Universities accept international students, foreign not :).

In the library I saw a section "international languages"... Ahem, that would be esperanto, but no books in it. There's french, well so it is, just like other former colonial languages, they made some countries out there happy, so it is not spoken in France only (and beyond that, half the Belgium and part of Switzerland). German - that can go too, spoken in three countries. Russian - well, it remained as the other official languages in several countries. Latin - nowadays would rather be anational; not spoken anywhere but used in many places, all over the world. But which countries have in common the hebrew language, or japanese?

And where's the most international language of modern times, the english?
