Albanian, fully digital.
For more than twenty years, the national project “The Albanian Language and the Computer” has been giving Albanian — a language with its own branch on the Indo-European family tree — the digital tools it deserves. Language Factory is the ecosystem it runs on.
A national project, not a startup bet.
It began with a simple gap: Albanians had no advanced software for their own language. The Centre for Education and Progress (QEP), together with Kosovo's Ministry of Education and Science, linguists, engineers and computational-linguistics specialists — Albasoft in Prishtina and Albatag in Tirana — set out to build it.
In 2003, QEP formed a National Scientific Council to guide the work with full scientific autonomy. When the normative sources gave no clear answer, the council decided — for example, that religious holidays such as Pashkë, Bajram and Krishtlindje are written with a capital letter.
The result is Shkrimori — formerly “Kulla e shqipes”, the tower of Albanian: dictionary, spelling, grammar, synonyms and morphology under one roof, on every platform.
