The Digital Language Diversity Project

In this paper we introduce The Digital Language Diversity Project, a three-year project funded under EC Erasmus+ programme started in September 2015. The project addresses the problem of the scarce use and usability of EU regional and minority languages over digital devices by developing a training programme for adult speakers of regional and minority languages to empower them with the know-how for creating and sharing digital content. Availability of digital content and technical support to collect it are essential prerequisites for the development of language-based digital applications, which in turn will boost digital usage of these languages.
