Dear colleagues,
Ubiquity is a project at Mozilla Labs that offers users a new way to
interact with the internet through a natural language interface. We hope to
localize Ubiquity into as many languages as possible and have begun
investigating different issues relating to its internationalization. As an
open-source project, we welcome and thrive on discussion and contributions
from the community.
I have prepared a short (4 min) introductory video on Ubiquity for
linguists who may be interested in the project. I encourage you to view and
share the video, and to get involved with the Ubiquity i18n process.
