Welcome to Say IT First

Welcome to the chance to digitally display Native languages.

This glossary work will be contributed by the community and owned by the community. Our goal is simple, to help First Nations’ people develop more fluent language speakers tomorrow than exist today.

This goal will be accomplished by helping individuals spend at least 20 hours per week in their language over a three year period in order to attain an acceptable level of fluency. As well, to communicate modern thoughts, modern terms are needed such as computer, Internet, etc. so Microsoft Corporation has provided their glossary for our purpose. Please take an active role in Modernizing, Expanding, Revitalizing and Localizing our mother tongues by contributing words.

Two glossaries exist to populate, the first one contains everyday words with associations from English to the Native languages. The second glossary contains words Microsoft Corporation will use to change the Native Language Interface for Windows 7 and Office 2010. Once this Microsoft Core Technical Terms Glossary is completed, Microsoft will display the translations as bubbles containing the Native words once the mouse has hovered over the English terms.
