Contribution :	Summary: it is critical that ehealth applications and for internet access thereof, to integrate multilingual capabilities, so as to reach All people's for that community's enealth services. Telemedicine requires linguistic sophistication to be effective for All. Service operators must be able to transcend their services to all linguistic jurisdictions that they claim to service, in fairness for diversity and inclusion. UN SDG 3 for All. Main Section: When we speak of multilingual capacities we must also include accessibility for disabilities, diverse reading and typing skills and so forth. Accessibility must also be for those who only have speaking skills and who use braille. In time we may have "other" languages develop to assist with accessibility. These functionalities are Critical for healthcare service applications, such as telemedicine to reach All. Robotics will bring in other dimensions of exchange between human and machine and we must be open to these types of linguistic developments as well. High-level Domain Names could be represented by a universal character symbol, e.g. for healthcare, there exists, recognizable symbols . These symbols then have a meaning that is not specific to a word in a particular language. It is critical we overcome the linguistic barriers in all it's shapes and forms, first starting with comprehensive translation services, so that we can grow and build for the mandste of the UN SDGs through the GDC together. Specifically I reference SDG3 Health and Wellness for All.
