Add Kiribati (and other little languages) to google translate
I would like more languages to be included in Google Translate, because lack of them not only makes the way certain people communicate feel unheard, but also means that, academically, students can't access the resources they need, using our main internet translator.
Why is this important?
I signed up for a school even to recite the same poem all together in over 100 different languages, in an effort to claim a world record while making previously scarcely heard voices around the world known.My language is Kiribati and I have been unable to translate the poem without paying money online, as google translate does not have it. I know many of you may think this is a silly story from a spoiled child, but I think it really highlights how we fail to represent minorities, being one of them myself.
