3-2-2 | The International Conference 'Language Technologies for All (LT4All): a report.
The International Conference 'Language Technologies for All (LT4All): Enabling Linguistic Diversity and Multilingualism Worldwide', which took place on December 4-6, 2019 at Unesco Headquarters in Paris in the framework of the International Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL 2019), was sponsored by ISCA. The rationale of the conference was: 'How to improve the present situation where only 2% of the languages spoken over the world benefit from Language Technologies' ? It allowed for fruitful exchanges between Language Technology providers and Language Policy makers, as it can be seen on Twitter: https://twitter.com/hashtag/lt4all The conference oral sessions were webcasted and can be replayed, in English and French: see https://en.unesco.org/LT4All
