Wikipedia

Wikipedia is an online free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit. The theory goes that since so many people read the articles and monitor contributions then the biased, out-of-date or incorrect information is soon corrected and validated. The Latvian version Vikipēdija already has over 8000 articles, but is still behind the Estonian and Lithuanian versions of 30,000 articles each. Become a Wikipedian and help make this an even better resource for Latvians worldwide.

easyJet.com

Kudos to easyJet.com for providing a Latvian language option on their Web site. Although they currently only fly from Berlin to Rīga they seem to be the only overseas-based airline to have made the effort to provide their information and online booking in Latvian.

Even Ryanair who are planning to invest considerable millions into Rīga is yet to provide a Latvian language version.
