Animation about digital communication in six languages

21-12-2017

Three short animations about Digital Post, NemID and NemSMS are now available in six languages. They will help ICT-challenged Danes to start using the digital solutions provided by the public sector.

In June 2017, the Danish Agency for Digitisation launched three animations about Digital Post, NemID and NemSMS in Danish and Arabic. These films have now been translated into another four languages: English, Turkish, Farsi, and Somali. Subtitles in all the languages mentioned are also provided.

The aim of the films is to reassure citizens about digital communication with public authorities. The three short animations focus on everyday situations experienced by most Danes and are meant to encourage more people to use Digital Post, NemID and NemSMS.

The three shorts animations are part of the joint public sector digital strategy 2016–2020.
