4.1 User Content

All content you contribute to LangQuest (translations, recordings, comments, votes) is made freely available worldwide under the CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0) Public Domain Dedication. This means anyone can use this content for any purpose without attribution.

4.1.1 Our Language Data Mission

The entire purpose of LangQuest is to preserve and make language data available to everyone. We do not sell language data, and we hope everyone who has any interest in language preservation will use it. We hope others will use this data to create new tools, resources, AI models (text, speech recognition and synthesis, etc.).

It is very important to our mission that the language data is as usable as possible. We make the database public, and do not require any attribution for using it.

We are inspired by projects like LibriVox and Project Gutenberg. We hope to create a similar community for language preservation and bridge building across all languages and cultures.
