Ibyerekeye Untranslate Porogaramu yo Kwiga Indimi

Untranslate ni porogaramu yo kwiga indimi yigisha uburyo bunononsoye bwo gukoresha ururimi binyuze mu kwiga bishingiye ku mvugo n'imikoreshereze. Untranslate itanga ijambo cyangwa interuro imwe ikuwe mu rutonde rwatoranyijwe, hanyuma isobanura ijambo ryatoranyijwe binyuze mu byiciro bine: amateka, umuco, imibanire y'abantu, n'imvugo isanzwe. Ijambo rimwe rimwe rifashwa n'amateka y'inkomoko yaryo, ibitabo bijyanye naryo, amafilime n'indirimbo, inyandiko z'amakuru n'amashusho magufi, ndetse n'ubuyobozi ku ikoreshwa ryaryo mu kiganiro. Iyi porogaramu ishobora gukoreshwa kuri telefoni zigendanwa, mudasobwa ngendanwa (tablets) na mudasobwa z'ibirenge (laptops), kandi amashusho yayo akurikiza amabwiriza y'ikoreshwa ku bantu bafite ubumuga.

Ishimwe

Ibyerekeye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cy'icyuma

Untranslate Porogaramu yo Kwiga Indimi ni uwegukanye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cy'icyuma, ishimwe ry'agaciro ritangwa ku bishushanyo byiza bihuza ibyo umwuga n'inganda bikeneye ku bihangano byashushanyijwe neza. Abegukanye icyuma bagaragaza ubuhanga bukomeye, ubumenyi bwihariye, imyumvire y'inzobere n'ubushobozi bwo guhanga bw'ababikoze. Untranslate Porogaramu yo Kwiga Indimi biteganyijwe ko izaba igihangano cyubahwa, gishimwa kandi gikundwa, gifatika kandi gifite udushya. Iki gishushanyo cyegukanye icyuma gihuza uburyo bwiza bukoreshwa mu nganda kandi gifite ibiranga bya tekiniki bifite ubushobozi, bifatanye n'ubumenyi n'impano. Untranslate Porogaramu yo Kwiga Indimi yubahwa kubera gukora neza, kandi yashushanyijwe kugira ngo inoze ubuzima, ifashe gutuma isi iba nziza.

Ibintu Bidasanzwe: Untranslate explores the barrier between languages through the subjective experiences of people. It is an application that teaches you the nuances of a language through context-based learning. Deviating from the traditional academic sources, it introduces you specific cultural references and content that can only be learnt by living in the corresponding place or through conversations with native speakers.
Ibipimo n'Ipaki: Untranslate is meant to be an application that can be accessed on mobile devices as well as tablets and laptops. The screens and graphics are not only adaptable but are in line with the accessibility standards for all kinds of people.
Ibibazo Fatizo: Application, Language, Education, Culture, Linguistics, Social, Context, Historical, Community
Ikoranabuhanga ryo Guteza Imbere: After rigorous user testing, and evaluating existing language applications, these were some challenges.

Limited Functionality, content covered was very limited.
Lack of Context, information may not be contextually acceptable.
Impersonal, people do not connect with language.

Moving forward, here are the insights gained from the pain points.

Experience, the content should be put into real life context.
Context, more experiential approach to language learning.
Awareness, exposure to varied kinds of media.
Ikibazo cy'Ishusho: The primary challenge in this project stemmed from the notion that language by itself can be an ineffective tool in seamlessly communicating across borders and backgrounds. During building the content and flow of the app, it was very important to get information from credible, first hand sources and be mindful of any social and culturally relevant information. There were several rounds of fact checking, so as to produce the most accurate and unbiased content.
Ubushakashatsi: The research behind Untranslate involved first-hand interviews with multiple native speakers of multiple languages. The purpose of the interviews was to obtain experiential information about their perception of language, their social and political associations with it, in addition to any anecdotes they may have related to their linguistic background. Images and quotes were also requested from the interviewees so as to make the content of the application more relatable and welcoming.
Ibyatumye Habaho: Language is not just a tool, but a reflection of its surrounding culture, people, media, and socio-politics. Therefore, the true essence of a language can never truly be translated into another. Certain words, phrases, and expressions can only be fully understood by interacting with the culture and the people it has emerged and grown from. The large number of people who grow up outside their state or country often lose the privilege of being immersed in their native languages and cultures.
Igihe cy'Umushinga: This project started in New York City in August 2019 and finished in May 2021. Since then, it has won a Graphic Design USA Award, a Best Award (hosted by DINZ), an ADGA Award and a Communication Arts Interaction Design Award.
Uburyo bw'Imikorere: Untranslate provides the user with a single word or phrase from a curated list of contextually rich words. Upon selecting a word it presents you with 4 different contexts, historical, cultural, social and colloquial.

As a part of the four contexts, Untranslate presents the user with the etymology of the word; a list of curated culturally relevant content such as book, movies and songs; access to news articles and clips; and knowledge on how to use the word in a conversational setting.
