Untranslatable

Untranslatable is a unique project, serving as the first multilingual urban dictionary. It goes beyond mere translation by exploring the hidden aspects of languages. This online dictionary allows users to contribute words, idioms, and expressions from all over the world. It offers insights into usage, context, and cultural significance, going beyond the traditional understanding of words. Untranslatable focuses on context because meaning can be conveyed through how, where, how frequently, and by whom something is used. All entries are approved by moderators, ensuring accuracy, and users can also vote on whether they have heard a particular word or expression. This project, started by Amarens after her linguistic studies, aims to promote inclusivity by accepting entries in any language, dialect, or even sign language, including endangered languages. It is a clever and innovative resource for language enthusiasts and learners alike.
