THE HEBREW LANGUAGE INTERNET

The Academy of the Hebrew Language is holding an event for the Hebrew Language Day [ Tickets ]. I lead a session on Internet Hebrew, with the head of Google Translation Team Israel Yael Sela , Prof. Cyril Aslanov of the Academy of the Hebrew Language, and the founders of the community " Children are the Best Screenwriters " Sarit Katz and Assaf Katz . I'm talking about it today at 12:20 in "What's Involved" with Maya Sela and Yuval Avivi in ​​"The House of Culture".

Among the topics on the panel:

Yael Sela will talk about the "Goliath Project", a project to update the language of Google interfaces. Among other things, the commandments became suggestions, and the references in the male became gender-neutral. It will also mention the effort of translation service developers Google TransLight to reduce gender bias .

Prof. Cyril Aslanov will discuss the available Hebrew sources, including the dotted Bible, and those that are not available, such as modern Hebrew literature over the past fifty years, making them much less accessible to those who do not read books.

Sarit Katz and Assaf Katz will talk about children born into the digital world, where a large part of the interpersonal communication is mediated through a computer / phone / tablet, and on the hybrid language between speech and writing.
