How do we get the internet to recognise minority languages?

The internet is great at recognising most languages – but not all of them.

Chenai Chair works for the tech non-profit the Mozilla Foundation, based in Harare, Zimbabwe.

She speaks to Shiona McCallum about the work the Foundation is doing to make digital services more inclusive – including training it to better recognise minority African languages.

"What happens when you can't access information in your own language is there's always an information gap."
