How do we get the internet to recognise minority languages?

Tech Life

Available for over a year

The internet is great at recognising most languages – but not all of them. Chenai Chair works for the tech non-profit the Mozilla Foundation, based in Harare, Zimbabwe. She speaks to Shiona McCallum about the work the Foundation is doing to make digital services more inclusive – including training it to better recognise minority African languages. "What happens when you can't access information in your own language is there's always an information gap." (Photo: Close-up of young woman talk with virtual digital voice recognition assistant.
