Linqa Overview

languageS

The Linqa platform helps to overcome language barriers by providing shared workspaces.

workspacES

Consists of both a whiteboard, on which texts, documents, videos, notes and photos can be placed, and a chat/discussion area.

collaborate

As a user of the Linqa platform, you are a member of one or more shared workspaces, you communicate and collaborate with the other members of the workspace.

Linqa is ideal for documenting workshops.

The costs for customization and further development of the software are based on your individual requirements: Price by agreement.

whiteboard

You can read documents and notes, watch videos, annotate and download documents.

Translation

Notes, text blocks, headings and document names are translated automatically. There is a separate discussion forum for documents.

chat/discussion area

Each workspace has a chat/discussion area. Messages and their translations are displayed simultaneously. There is a general chat as well as special discussions on a specific document or text block.

Open Source Software

Linqa is an open-source software and collaborative effort, its further development benefits all users. This collective approach leads to the creation of new functions and application options, enhancing the overall capabilities of the software.

How did the project start

We at DMX, a Berlin-based IT company, have been working on the bilingual software since 2021. It all started with the development of the online platform in collaboration with the Franco-German Zukunftswerk. Based on the positive experiences, we are convinced that even more European organizations can benefit from multilingual and GDPR-compliant software.

“Linqa is a gamechanger for a bilingual project like ours. We used to translate mails between our German and French partners: The communication was not only awkward, but it completely depended on our resources. Linqa enables our partners to chat and exchange among themselves. That way multi-lingual communities of practice can develop organically.“

“The main benefit of developing Linqa as Free Software lies in its potential for widespread adoption and adaptation. The Franco-German Forum for the Future has a very specific use of the Linqa platform, which follows from our particular methodology and the people we work with. We get exactly what we need with Linqa but still its potential goes beyond our specific use case.“
