The three-year project has been selected to make lesser-used languages 'digitally ready', to empower lesser-used language speakers with the knowledge and abilities to create and share content on digital devices and to help software developers provide state-of-the-art services so as to increase the use of lesser-used languages online. The project shall run between 1^st September 2015 and 31^st August 2018.
