About us
eSTÓR is a nationally funded project that enables people working in public administration across Ireland to collect and share language data via a dedicated online platform. This language data, pending on licensing agreement, is relayed to the European Commission for machine translation training purposes.
What is Language data?
Language data is any written text in digital form (i.e. accessible using a computer). It can be bilingual (e.g.Irish language documents with their English equivalent) or monolingual (e.g Irish-only text).
Why do we want you to share your language data?
By sharing your language data, you are contributing to the improvement of Irish public translation services and also helping to ensure that more national and European public services are available through Irish. The result is a greater presence of Irish in public life and a broader Irish “digital footprint,” for our native language.
Secondly, by sharing data as Open Data with eSTÓR you are helping strengthen the EU’s data economy.
