March 10, 2025•4 min read
Designing platforms for language preservation requires a deep understanding of community needs and cultural contexts. Our approach prioritizes community input at every stage of the design process.
Understanding Community Needs
Every language community has unique requirements and cultural considerations. We start by:
- •Conducting community interviews and surveys
- •Understanding cultural protocols and sensitivities
- •Identifying specific use cases and workflows
- •Mapping existing communication patterns
Design Principles
Our design process is guided by several key principles:
- •Cultural authenticity and respect
- •Accessibility across different devices and contexts
- •Community ownership and control
- •Scalability for future growth
