Coverage with machine translation and speech and text resources for European languages

Such a situation requires the development of LT for all European languages, particularly RMLs, as well as languages that depend on their oral tradition and lesser-used languages, including state languages like Luxemburgish, Maltese, Irish, and Estonian. Smaller, sign and oral languages lack the full range of language resources such as linguistic corpora and electronic dictionaries. Data needed to develop human language technologies such as machine translation, and speech and text resources are scarce or limited (see Figure 5).
