A QR code is a square with typically black and white fields that acts as a barcode. Modern cell phones, so-called smartphones, can use the phone’s camera and a QR app to scan the code in the image and you don’t have to type anything. If the code leads to the website (which in Umepedia’s case is a Wikipedia article) you are automatically moved there. Since we use a clever program in the background you will get the Wikipedia article in the language that you have on your phone – automatically!

If the phone does not already have a QR app, there are free versions to download to your phone via Market (Android) App Store (iPhone) or Marketplace (Windows Phone). One helpful hint is to search for “QR reader”.
