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. 001469404 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 14, 2023). 001469404 650_0 $$aLanguage policy$$zEuropean Union countries. 001469404 650_0 $$aMultilingualism$$zEuropean Union countries. 001469404 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001469404 7001_ $$aRehm, Georg,$$eeditor. 001469404 7001_ $$aWay, Andy,$$eeditor. 001469404 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031288181$$z9783031288180$$z3031288211$$z9783031288210$$w(OCoLC)1371015034 001469404 830_0 $$aCognitive technologies.$$x2197-6635 001469404 852__ $$bebk 001469404 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-28819-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.2 001469404 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1469404$$pGLOBAL_SET 001469404 980__ $$aBIB 001469404 980__ $$aEBOOK 001469404 982__ $$aEbook 001469404 983__ $$aOnline 001469404 994__ $$a92$$bISE
