Language development work cannot be done without software tools and people who know how to use them. Language Technology Consultant Training (LTCT) workshops equip technologists in their home countries to run their own local training programs. These workshops benefit from the presence of experienced instructors who organize, attend, teach, mentor, and coach the participants in use of various tools for doing language development and Bible translation.
