Destination pages are public but deliberately `noindex`; their live prices, visa guidance and weather are fetched when a traveller asks rather than baked into a static claim. ## Languages The interface and the assistant are available in English, Indonesian, Tetun and Portuguese. The language is chosen in the interface; there is no separate per-language URL, so the canonical URL is the same for every language. ## Origin RANIA AI was built in Soro, a village in Ainaro, Timor-Leste, in a rural and mountainous environment where access to technology, connectivity and capital can be limited. Luis Sanimar built it through self-directed study and practical experimentation rather than with a large technology team or large initial capital. The point is not sympathy. It is that technology can be built from a small country and from a village, and that young people can start with what they have. ## Public pages Every page below is indexable and carries its own canonical URL, title, description and structured data.
