What makes this project unique?


[Risorsa-12]

Untranslatable is an indie project that delves into the hidden
aspects of languages by explaining words, idioms, and expressions
contributed by native speakers. It goes beyond traditional
translation, offering insights into usage, context, and cultural
significance.



What we focus on


[Risorsa-13]

Context

Because what something means can be conveyed by how, where, how
frequently and by who something is used.

Accuracy

All entries are approved by one of our moderators, and people can
vote on whether they have heard something or not.

Inclusivity

Untranslatable allows entries in any language, from any dialect,
including endangered languages and sign language.



Behind the project

[Risorsa-15]


My name is Amarens, and I started this project in 2019 after I
graduated from my Bachelors in Portuguese and Spanish Linguistics. I
have since received an MA in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics and
a MSc in Computational Linguistics.

I originally raised money for the project through a Kickstarter
campaign, and learned to program from scratch in order to create this
website.
