Native American Languages and Technology – IMUG

For many of us, using our languages on computers and mobile devices is built in. Reading, writing, and speech tools “just work” in almost every application. The situation, however, is very different for languages not in the top 100 on the internet.

Join three Native American groups for a discussion of languages in their communities and their use of technology for those languages, organized and moderated by Craig Cornelius.

Craig is a member of the International Engineering group at Google, Inc., working with Google Search, Gmail, Google Translate, and other projects. He has worked closely with the Cherokee Nation and other partners in support of indigenous and endangered languages around the world. Craig has held academic and industry positions over many years, but his Ph.D. in Chemistry has almost nothing to do with i18n.

This collaborative platform was established to enable the community of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL 2022–2032) to share events, activities, and resources. The content published on the platform is the responsibility of registered users and does not commit the Secretariat of the Decade (UNESCO) and/or the Members of the Global Task Force for Making a Decade of Action for Indigenous Languages. Please note that the platform has been inactive since February 2025 and no longer accepts new uploads. While work is underway to provide an updated solution, the Secretariat of IDIL 2022–2032 remains available for any inquiries at: indigenous.languages@unesco.org.
