# Qusmo

> Qusmo is a multilingual quote and translation library — Korean, English, and Japanese — connecting original quotes to their translations and authors across languages.

## What it is

- ~13,000+ curated quotes
- Each quote can have a `parent` (original) and `children` (translations) — supporting one-to-many translation relationships across languages
- Authors are linked across language editions (a Korean "공자" is connected to English "Confucius" and Japanese "孔子")
- Lightweight community-style metadata: likes, tags, notes, boards (curated collections, including translation-direction-specific boards like EN→KO)

## Why Qusmo (vs. larger quote sites)

- **Multilingual translation linking** is first-class — most quote sites are monolingual
- **Translation provenance**: original ↔ translated quote pairs are explicit, not just text-similar
- Schema.org `Quotation` markup with `inLanguage`, `creator`, and `translationOfWork` is published on every quote page
