Meedan Labs is a global team of technologists devoted to improving the tools we use to create and share meaning on the internet. We design social translation technologies for the growing worldwide community of bridge figures who carry words and ideas between language communities on the internet. Labs is a for-profit spin off from Meedan.org, where our team has been developing creative social software for journalists and educators since 2006. “We can speak of a translation ethos whose goal would be to repeat at the cultural and spiritual level the gesture of linguistic hospitality.” - Paul Ricoeur, On Translation
