According to the National Geographic Enduring Voices Project, “Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, more than half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth – many of them not yet recorded – may disappear, taking with them a wealth of knowledge about history, culture, the natural environment, and the human brain.” As this quote shows, languages typically portray a culture, but many of them are disappearing. Our vision at Flitto is to help preserve these languages and cultures by allowing the millions of multilingual people around the world to completely break the language barriers through translations in a dynamic, fun, and interactive way. | According to the National Geographic Enduring Voices Project, “Every 14 days a language dies.

Mission
According to the National Geographic Enduring Voices Project, “Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, more than half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth – many of them not yet recorded – may disappear, taking with them a wealth of knowledge about history, culture, the natural environment, and the human brain.” As this quote shows, languages typically portray a culture, but many of them are disappearing. Our vision at Flitto is to help preserve these languages and cultures by allowing the millions of multilingual people around the world to completely break the language barriers through translations in a dynamic, fun, and interactive way.

We want people to refer to Flitto ("just Flitto it") when they need translations, just as how people say "just google it" when they need to search for something.
