What Switzerland Can Teach Tech About the Power of Language Plurality
You can ride a train for two hours in Switzerland and watch the world around you change languages. One moment, your ticket inspector greets you in Swiss German, two stops later, it’s French and by the time you reach Ticino, the rhythm shifts to Italian. Somewhere in the valleys of Graubünden, you might hear Romansh , a language spoken by less than 1% of the population, yet proudly displayed on official signs.
