Clear Global: Connecting the World Through Language

By Appen. November 18, 2022

Language is a key differentiator for all people around the world and, while it may separate us, it can also bring us together. Language technology is a key enabler of global communication and understanding. CLEAR Global, formerly Translators without Borders, is the leading nonprofit helping people get vital information and be heard, whatever language they speak. There are four billion people who are excluded from global conversations because they speak a marginalized language. The goal of CLEAR Global is to shed light on the importance of language inclusions especially when it comes to important, often critical, information. In this webinar, we will explore:

The importance of providing framework and resources to build inclusive language models.
What steps need to be taken to improve global communication.
The latest project with CLEAR Global and Appen on Swahili English language, Sheng.
And how we partnered to bring COVID-19 messaging to lesser-resourced languages.
