This white paper is part of a series aimed at enhancing understanding of language technology and its potential, targeting educators, journalists, politicians, and language communities. The availability and application of language technology across Europe differ by language, necessitating tailored actions to support research and development. These actions are influenced by factors such as language complexity and community size. META-NET, a Network of Excellence funded by the European Commission, has analyzed current language resources and technologies, focusing on 23 official European languages and other significant national and regional languages. The findings indicate substantial research gaps for each language. A thorough expert analysis will optimize the impact of further research while minimizing risks. META-NET comprises 54 research centers across 33 countries, collaborating with stakeholders from various sectors, including commercial businesses, government agencies, and universities. Together, they are formulating a unified technology vision and a strategic research agenda to address identified research gaps in language technology applications by 2020.
