Abstract

The ELRC White Paper “Sustainable Language Data Sharing to Support Language Equality in Multilingual Europe – Why Language Data Matters” provides an analysis of European practices for sharing language data and the corresponding challenges, as well as clear recommendations for policy-level decision makers on how to overcome these challenges. Each challenges section corresponds to a specific recommendations section. Since some recommendations address several challenges, they will be reiterated in each section to cater to readers that are only interested in the recommendations for a specific challenge. An overview of all recommendations is available in the “Conclusions and Outlook” chapter. The Annex of this White Paper contains a Country Profile for each participating CEF country, which details vital information about the translation practices in public administrations, its language policy, a short description of the stakeholders relevant to the sharing of language data, the challenges of sharing language data in public administrations, and a corresponding action plan to address and overcome these challenges. Each Country Profile is a self-contained document supplemented by the main body of the White Paper and the other Country Profiles. The level of detail may vary from one profile to another. Unless otherwise stated, all information refers to the situation at the national level of the particular country.
