📖 Did you know that we've been providing language solutions for over 150 years? Our story began in the mid-19th century when a group of scholars set out to document the entire English language. By gathering real-life evidence of words in use from people all over the world, we created a living record of how language evolves. This innovative spirit became the foundation of Oxford Languages and has driven us to explore new frontiers in language research ever since. We've expanded our expertise to cover over 60 languages, supporting everyone - from researchers to industry leading giants. Over a century later, our original mission still holds true: to advance language knowledge and make it accessible to everyone, everywhere. We're shaping the future of how the world connects, communicates and learns. And we're just getting started. #LanguageData #DictionaryData #OurStory #LexicalData #LanguageSolutions #Datasets #EdTech #Tech #Language #SoftwareDevelopment #MachineLearning #PronunciationData

📱 How can you improve the global reach and accessibility of your products? It might seem obvious, but people are MUCH more likely to use a product or service if it’s available in their native language, so why would you restrict your potential by providing content in just one language? At Oxford Languages, we have an extensive collection of human-curated lexical datasets in more than 60 languages — from the world’s most widely spoken languages to under-resourced dialects. 👉 Swipe right to see what samples we have available, and access them below! 🔗 Get access to the English samples: https://lnkd.in/e6scvBm8 🔗 Get access to European Language samples: https://lnkd.in/eHK2cScX #LanguageData #LanguageSolutions #DictionaryData #SoftwareDevelopment #ProductDevelopment #AppDevelopment #LexicalData #Localization #MonolingualData #BilingualData #SentenceData #Globalization #Tech #MachineLearning
