Summary: There are some languages that dominate the online space in terms of reach and influence, and those influencers are not necessarily the ones with the most speakers. Over the past decade the internet's most widely used sources of information and tools for creating and sharing that information have been limited in terms of what languages are supported and able to be used. Whats wrong with this picture? Today on the program we’re going to address the questions of what is going on with language in digital spaces, with help from our guests Lucie-Aimee Kaffee of Wikimedia Deutschland, Irene Russo of the Digital Language Diversity Project, and Om Shiva Prakash of Wikimedia Kannada, as we talk about accessibility, wikipedia and language representation.
