DigiLinguo: Overcoming language barriers in public institutions

Description

Digilinguo is a platform that promotes sustainable practices in the use of digital translation and language tools, thus allowing for language barriers to be overcome in public institutions. Three channels will be created to help it in achieving this objective: 1) a test track for trying out and testing digital tools, 2) an online platform for the training of interpreting specialists and 3) meet-ups that facilitate the networking of stakeholders from the worlds of research, education and practice.
