Twitter plays such an important role at RightsCon in terms of documenting, sharing and building networks amongst attendees. But at such an international conference, sometimes language can be a barrier to participation. The Meedan & GV Lingua team translated the English Tweets posted by speakers and participants under #RightsCon [20], #RightsCon2016 [21] and #KeepItOn [22] into Arabic and Spanish.
Huge respect and gratitude for amazing @RightsCon2es [5] @rightscon3rabi [6] translators @MiraGabi [23] @r_alhames [13] @juanalbglz [24] @GVlingua [15] #RightsCon [4]
