Creating content low-resource languages ft. Ady Namaran & Emmanuel Clifford

In September 2022, Bolingo Consult published a news website, Akan Kaseɛbɔ (www.akannews.com) in two of the Akan languages: Asante Twi and Fante. This website is the first online platform that makes available information in the Akan language, enabling speakers of Asante Twi and Fante to access educative and entertaining content in their mother tongue.

In this Nimdzi Live, Ady and Emmanuel share some lessons from building a website for low-resourced languages and what it means to constantly create content in these languages. They will also use this opportunity to share some impressions and feedback from the target readers.
