Partners

No one person can map the idioms of the world. Idiomator grows through native speakers, linguists and organizations who want their languages represented: in dictionaries, and in the data machines learn from.

7 languages so far. Every language added comes from someone who speaks it.

Ways to partner

  • Native speakers & annotators

    Review idiom labels in your language: is this phrase idiomatic here, is the meaning right, does the example sound like something a person would actually say?

    Named as a contributor. Substantial annotation work is credited with co-authorship, not a footnote.

  • Linguists & universities

    Shape annotation guidelines for a new language, supervise quality, or run a student annotation project for a language your department knows well.

    Co-designed guidelines and co-authored results.

  • Community & cultural organizations

    Heritage-language schools, diaspora groups and cultural centres can help collect idioms from the people who actually use them.

    Credited on the language’s dictionary pages.

  • Data & infrastructure

    Existing idiom collections under open licences, compute for training, or hosting for the free tools.

    Credited wherever the resource is used.

What stays true

Whatever we build together stays open. MultiIdiom is released under CC BY-SA 4.0 with a DOI, and the tools are free with no account. Your language’s idioms won’t end up behind a paywall.
