For many people whose native language is spoken by a relatively small population, pursuing their dreams often requires learning a dominant language like English or Chinese. However, doing so demands both time and financial resources, creating a clear disadvantage. Some have suggested that humanity should adopt a universal language to solve this imbalance. But language is more than just a communication tool—it carries the weight of culture, history, and identity. That’s why preserving linguistic diversity is not only meaningful but essential. Then, how can we overcome the imbalance caused by language barriers? Imagine a world with a perfect translator—like C-3PO from Star Wars. With advances in artificial intelligence, translation tools are rapidly improving, sparking hope that such a solution is within reach. Yet language, as a deeply human construct, remains difficult for machines to fully grasp. Many believe a truly perfect translator may never exist. At Flitto, we aim to bridge linguistic inequality by developing translation and interpretation systems that respect the cultural and historical value of all languages. Rather than chasing perfection, we focus on creating the most effective solution—one that breaks down language barriers with precision and respect. To achieve this, we collect and analyze vast amounts of multilingual data to help machines understand the nuance of human language. We believe in a model of collaboration between people and technology, offering the most suitable translation for each context. Through this process, we share the language data we generate with society, supporting innovation in translation across industries and contributing technologies that benefit humanity. A world where everyone can move freely across language barriers is not far away. Will you join Flitto in building that new world?
