Abstract :
The purpose of this article is to point out some of the obstacles in the implementation of computer technologies that appear more often and are harder to solve in small, non-English speaking countries (Croatia as an example). Some of these problems are: language, character set, education, the problem of supporting science, staffing, the maintenance problem and the small market problem.
