Audience Interest

A few notions why your audience might like to hear about LëtzRead.

Motivation

As a native, Tom noticed that Lëtzebuergesch Learners often have only limited opportunities to integrate Luxembougish into their daily life.

Inspired by the Toucan browser extension, Tom set out to build his own version specially for Lëtzebuerg.

He hopes that it will help pupils integrate more Luxembourgish into their life
by translating their favorite websites & media bite-sized into Luxembourgish.

Technical Limitations

Things to Keep in Mind [Beta]

Language is a complex area in which even the best automatic translation software errs. LëtzRead overall accuracy is high enough to be useful for vocabulary training, but expect that there will be occasional words that don't fit, especially when a translation depends on specific context.

GOOD FIT

General Web Browsing / Spare Time
E.g. Reading News, Trivial Browsing, Wikipedia entries, etc.

BAD FIT

Work / Specialized Activity
You shouldn't use it on content that's very specific (e.g. scientific, legal, technical texts) as translations in these areas often depend on exact context.
