Dear DMX aficionados,
At Mar 13, 2026 Linqa 2.2 has been released.
Linqa is a multilingual whiteboard application for supporting international collaboration. Its special trait is automatic text translation. Users edit content items (notes, text blocks, PDF, images, audio, video, documents) on a whiteboard that is shared and discussed between team members.
The whiteboard is not limited in size and is zoomable. To add structure the items can be freely placed and individually colored. Further elements like headings, lines, arrows, and shapes can be added. This allows for building expressive and appealing whiteboards which support the user’s visual memory.
Chat-like discussion takes place at both levels, per individual item or team-wide. Both, the text items and all discussion posts are translated automatically and can be displayed in 2 languages at the same time. Linqa indicates whether text is a result of auto-translation or has been revised manually.
At the moment 9 languages are supported: German 
, English 
, Spanish 
, Finnish 
, French 
, Polish 
, Portuguese (Brazilian) 
, Swedish 
, and Ukrainian 
.
When creating a note or a discussion post the user just types in her preferred language. Linqa detects the language automatically and translates accordingly. Automatic text translation is done by the means of the DeepL service. For developers adding another language e.g. Chinese 
is rather easy,.
The whiteboard and the discussions are synchronized between collaborating users in real time. To keep team members up-to-date also when not logged in, Linqa informs them about changes by sending digest emails on a regular basis.
For a more detailed description of the Linqa application please check the README and the in-app help resource.
Technically Linqa is a plugin for the DMX platform. Like the DMX platform, Linqa itself is Open Source software under the GNU AGPL license.
To try out Linqa you can request access to our demo installation. Please check the Linqa website for instructions: https://linqa.eu. Also at the Linqa website you’ll find illustrated use cases, a blog with background articles, as well as a PDF-brochure.
Note: the Linqa demo installation is set up for English / German. If you want try with another pair of languages please post here or email to contact@dmx.berlin.

For self-hosting Linqa on your own server, or for installing it on your local machine (for a quick trial) please check the installation instructions at GitHub. There you’ll also find the Linqa source code and issue tracker.
Last but not least you can hire me as a developer for adapting/extending Linqa to your needs (or for any other DMX related task). Please connect me at Linked-In (or write me an email):
