The common writing system for the world
[language A : universal language : language B]
The MediaGlyphs project is creating an intermediary written language that everyone can understand and use - regardless of their native language. It is based on Chinese grammar (logical and not complex) but instead of Chinese characters it employs easily recognizable images to convey the meaning.
An example sentence:
This sentence translates as: "I think you hear me speak". The images (called "glyphs") are clickable and take you to their definition page in case their meaning is not immediately understandable. Furthermore, if you hover your pointer over the images, translation tooltips will appear.
Another example:
This sentence means: "her daughter is in Spain for five years". Names in MediaGlyphs are written in phonetic transcription of the original language or in the original script.
We are creating more glyphs and are looking for people who are interested in graphical design and would be willing to help in this task.
We are creating a multilingual dictionary, where all the entries of all the languages are linked together by the corresponding MediaGlyph (each glyph represents a meaning, without ambiguities). We are looking for collaborators to add new words or start new languages.
We are also training a multilingual machine translation model, so we need curators that can examine and correct translations of sentences, in order to continuously improve the model.
Would you like to participate in the development of this project? We need writers, translators and graphic artists.
