Abstract
Ten years ago, when META-NET conducted a study on Language Technology support for Europe’s languages, Latvian was assessed as a language with little or no support (Skadiņa et al. 2012). During the last decade, progress has been made in the development of language resources and tools for Latvian, particularly with respect to advanced datasets and language models, machine translation solutions, speech technologies, and technologies for natural language understanding and human-computer interaction. This chapter provides a summary of the current state of the Latvian language, the only official language of Latvia, in the digital environment and highlights the most important activities in the language technology field.
