Record, review, translate or collaborate, in person or remotely.

Why it matters

Your dialect and variety are the point, not a problem to fix

Work the way you actually speak and write

We tag regional and national varieties rather than flattening them into one standard form.

You will always know how your contribution is being used before you make it.
