There seems to be some confusion about QRpedia and QR codes. QRpedia is a site that makes QR codes - it is not the clever bit. The key part is qrwp.org that does the language switching. This can be used as a stand alone service, with QR codes or with NFC or other emerging technologies. A QRWP url can be sent by a Finn to a Korean and they will understand what is being described even though they speak different languages and both are blind.
