Scholarly communication is predominantly in English, which limits the participation of different language communities and makes research less accessible. The OSCAIL project promotes linguistic diversity in open science by developing AI-based automatic translation methods for multiple European languages. It brings together experts in language technology, scholarly publishing, and linguistic communities. The results will be applied to the Open Journal Systems publishing platform, enabling researchers to write, peer review, and read research in their own languages. In addition, the project will produce plain-language summaries and translations into the project languages to make research more understandable to wider audiences. OSCAIL supports UNESCO's Recommendation on Open Science and strengthens the accessibility of science in all languages.
