Try:

4 languages, 20,862 entries, and every line of code and every dictionary entry open to the communities they belong to.

How it works

Built on open data and AI, with deep respect for language custodians.

01

Community dictionaries

Word lists are curated with Indigenous language speakers and linguists, capturing authentic pronunciation, meaning, and the story behind each entry.

02

AI translation, flagged honestly

Language models trained on those dictionaries offer contextual translations. Where the machine is guessing, we say so, every time.

03

Open, forever

Every line of code and every dictionary entry is open. A community can clone, fork, and self-host its own dictionary without us in the loop.
