I’m deeply enraged by the lack of native language support for Haitian Creole on iOS and Android. On iOS, though it does the right thing and provides Haitian Creole as a top level language (ht), it’s basically a localization of French, not transliterated Haitian Creole. On Android, even though Haitian Creole is an ISO language code, it’s not even an option. You can only select French, then a localization for Haiti. How can I select Esperanto but not Haitian Creole? #languageaccess #racism

YouTube launches auto-dubbing feature, generating translated audio tracks for hundreds of thousands of knowledge and info-focused channels! A game-changer for global accessibility. #YouTube #AutoDubbing #TechNews #ContentCreation #LanguageAccess #GlobalReach #DigitalInnovation

I wrote a quick brief for public sector employees thinking about 'using AI for translations in everything'

Multilingual ballots are critical for democracy — they help more people be confident voters!

Bonus: English +1 means any ballot can be used by English-speaking voters, reducing how many ballots need to be printed and saving $$$. And this way, all ballots are auditable in English.

What are federal agencies doing to ensure federal programs & those getting federal funds are meeting #languageaccess needs in their service delivery? White House & Department of Health and Human Services officials joined experts from the Migration Policy Institute and National Immigration Law Center to discuss these issues and what the future holds.

Nearly half of #SanFrancisco’s residents speak a language other than English at home. While there's a city law that requires access to government services in a few languages, too many of our #SF neighbors are left out.

Does anyone have resources on multilingual, intergenerational, community food gardening? With limited resources to pay for interpreters, any guides, tool kits, curricula, or just plain stories and suggestions based on experience would be very valued!
