We're a 2x Honoree

Fast Company’s Innovation by Design Awards recognize the companies and projects addressing the world’s most crucial issues through design, and we're honored to share that our Language Explorer website earned two Honorable Mentions in Data Design and Accessible Design.

Designing for inclusivity

Transforming the world’s largest open-source repository of language data into an intuitive digital experience required a fresh approach to data visualization. To make the data accessible to researchers, language enthusiasts, and the general public, we designed the Language Explorer website around a custom 3D globe for easy navigation. We then integrated a custom language-filtering system so users could explore the languages at their own pace.

Now in its 15th year, the Innovation by Design Awards spotlight work that exemplifies beauty, originality, sustainability, and cultural significance. We’re honored by Fast Company's recognition and proud to support Google's ongoing Language Inclusion initiative as it expands digital access for millions of speakers worldwide.
