Volunteers for Keyboards for Indigenous Language Communities
The Keyboard Creation project of Translation Commons is building virtual keyboards for communities that want access to digital applications in their native language.
In this talk, you will learn about the challenges to creating these keyboards, how we solve them, and the impact the keyboards have had for many communities. With several keyboards under our belt now, we can share lessons learned and thoughts on how we might improve the process. These activities are performed by Translation Commons volunteers for free. You will learn how you can nominate projects and even learn how to create keyboards yourself!
