This is admittedly none of my business, but I'm afraid you're going to be in
serious trouble in 1992 if you don't learn English before then. Somehow I don't
get the impression that organizing conferences where lectures are held in
Italian, French, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese or English according to the
lecturer's country of origin is going to cut it. Somehow, I get the feeling
that the French (for instance) are not going to pay much attention to papers
written in Portuguese and associated lectures. But, after all, what 1992 is all
about is just the removal of customs regulation so that industrially powerful
countries can eradicate the feeble industry of other countries; collaboration
doesn't get into the picture.

1. The subject line cites a wrong conference: the one in Pisa has
English as its language. The text comes from the announcement
of a "Latin" informatics conference. BTW: they seem to discriminate
against Occitan (Provencal), Romanian, and Rhetoroman (sp?).
2. The year 1992 holds no special magic for scientific conferences.
3. For businessmen to be successful in Europe in a few years,
it's their _German_ they must brush up, and those who haven't
taken even an elementary course in German should really hurry.

(This isn't 100% earnest.)
If we want to _buy_ something from Germany, we need not understand
even English: they will certainly send a representative who speaks
Finnish. But if we would also like to _sell_ something there
(looking at Finland's trade deficit, we should really yearn to)
it's best to speak German, and to have promotional material
in flawless German. German tourists are also a very important
source of income to many European countries.
About "Eastern Europe" (most of whose countries will probably again
be recognised as "Central Europe"): I suppose German is rather
widely understood there.
