What3words is available in 35 languages. The english position "reopens.stones.octagon" is in french "convaincu.verbe.hypertrophier".

What3words is a solution for the problem where you communicate addresses verbally and store them in your human memory but use a computer while trying to find them.

Fortunately the Indo-Arabic numeral system is used nearly everywhere so if I communicate GPS coordinates to another computer-user she can understand and store them without problems and instead of using map.what3words.com uses www.openstreetmap.org.
