About us
Learning Indigenous languages, in the open
Mob Translate is an independent open research project for exploring First Nations languages. It brings attributed records from dictionaries, grammars, archives, recordings, and contributions into one searchable place. Publication here does not make a resource official, community-owned, or community-certified.
Today that's 4 languages and 13,709 entries. The application code is MIT-licensed; language data and model artifacts retain their own source and upstream terms.
What we're building
Translation for everyone
A public research translator for Indigenous languages: accessible, source-aware, and explicit that machine output is an unverified draft.
Living dictionaries
Source-traced word lists that can grow through documented corrections and contributions without hiding provenance or review state.
AI that knows its place
Research models and dictionary-grounded prompts that can assist exploration without pretending to be speaker-certified translation.
Accountability first
Language custodians, speakers, linguists, and learners can contribute or correct records; participation and approval are never implied.
