GLOBALINK JOINS FORCES WITH DISCOVERY CHANNEL ONLINE; BILINGUAL INTERNET
SITE TO FOLLOW FIVE OLYMPIANS AS THEY COMPETE IN THE 1996 ATLANTA GAMES

(FAIRFAX, VA -- APRIL 24, 1996) -- Globalink, Inc. (AMEX:GNK), the world's
leading provider of translation services and software, announced today it
will participate in a special Olympic-themed project with Discovery
Channel Online (http://www.discovery.com). During June and July, Discovery
Channel Online (DCOL) will be following five Olympians from around the
world as they prepare for, and participate in, the Atlanta Games. With the
help of Globalink's language translation and technological expertise, DCOL
will be able to offer its multi- faceted online Olympic-themed feature
story to both English and Spanish speakers around the world.

For this, the first of several projects with DCOL, Globalink will dedicate
a team of professionals from its 2,000-member translator network, and
employ its innovative language translation software, to translate DCOL's
Olympic-themed special event into Spanish. The result will be a bilingual
site allowing for wider global participation as English and Spanish
speakers around the world interact with the athletes, and one another, in
the multi-national spirit of the Olympics.

Visitors to the site will get to know each athlete in a personal way, as
they share their hopes and dreams of winning the world's most coveted
athletic prizes. DCOL's audience will have the opportunity to interact
with each athlete via e-mail and a bulletin board, and can closely follow
their daily activities and progress.

Said Thomas Hicks, publisher of Discovery Channel Online, "Our web site
receives over 24,000 visits per day, many of which are from non-English
speaking countries. As we move in the direction of making our site more
globally appealing, this is a great first step. Our feature about five
athletes competing in the 1996 Atlanta Games offers a special opportunity
to launch the effort. Now we'll be able to reach the vast Spanish-speaking
audiences around the world in their native language."

Globalink's president, Jim Lewis, said: "DCOL's bilingual Olympic- related
site will bring the Olympics to life for people across the globe as they
follow the athletes and share in their exciting experience. Globalink is
proud to join with Discovery Channel Online in bringing its entertaining
and valuable resources to people around the world by eliminating a major
language barrier."
