Translation and linguistic representation
Working to break down barriers to intercultural communication, while ensuring indigenous and native languages are represented online and survive the transition to digital.
"There are only approximately 29 languages with digital vitality (Simons et al., 2017). For languages, digital vitality represents the extent to which a language is used and usable on the Internet and through digital devices and platforms...The dearth of platforms, applications, and software for so-called “minority” or non-dominant languages is representative of the experience of low-resourced language speakers on the Internet."
