We Want Google Translate:

The tiny Faroe Islands are once again taking on giant Google in a bid to have their unique language included on Google Translate. We have created our very own Faroe Islands Translate.

With fewer than 80,000 people speaking Faroese worldwide, and a growing tourism market, the Faroe Islands realise that not being included on Google Translate has frustrated visitors who can’t fully immerse in their unique traditional culture by learning a few phrases in Faroese.

Creating our very own version of the online translation service, with the help of locals who will translate live by video, Faroe Islands Translate will provide a free online service for those visiting the destination or, in fact, anyone around the world curious to learn a little of this unusual language.

From sheep farmers to school teachers, chefs to social workers, this initiative provides an opportunity to see the friendly Faroese before visiting, and to gain a window on their magical world
