🗣 Spoken by approximately 65% of the Swiss population, Swiss German is commonly used in everyday communication. However, useful tools we take for granted such as spelling correctors, predictive text, and even automatic translators simply do not exist for the dialect. 👩💻 In this MultiLingual Media blog, our Senior Languages Engineer Meritxell Gonzalez explores the challenges tech companies face in improving global accessibility, and explains how Oxford Languages is helping to combat this by developing large human-curated language datasets for under-resourced languages 👇 #SwissGerman #Localization #Technology #Inclusivity #UserExperience #LanguageDiversity #LanguageData #MultiLingualMedia
