This open access book presents a comprehensive collection of
the European Language Equality (ELE) project’s
results, its strategic agenda and roadmap with key
recommendations to the European Union on how to achieve
digital language equality in Europe by 2030. The fabric of
the EU linguistic landscape comprises 24 official languages and
over 60 regional and minority languages. However, language barriers
still hamper communication and the free flow of information.
Multilingualism is a key cultural cornerstone of Europe, signifying
what it means to be and to feel European. Various studies and
resolutions have found a striking imbalance in the support of
Europe’s languages through technologies, issuing a call to
action. Following an introduction, the book is divided into
two parts. The first part describes the state of the art of
language technology and language-centric AI and the definition and
metrics developed to measure digital language equality. It also
presents the status quo in 2022/2023, i.e., the current level of
technology support for over 30 European languages. The second part
describes plans and recommendations on how to bring about digital
language equality in Europe by 2030. It includes chapters on the
setup and results of the community consultation process, four
technical deep dives, an overview of existing strategic documents
and an abridged version of the strategic agenda and roadmap. The
recommendations have been prepared jointly with the European
community in the fields of language technology, natural language
processing, and language-centric AI, as well as with
representatives of relevant initiatives and associations, language
communities and regional and minority language groups. Ensuring
appropriate technology support for all European languages will not
only create jobs, growth and opportunities in the digital single
market. Overcoming language barriers in the digital environment is
also essential for an inclusive society and for providing unity in
diversity for many years to come.
