Translators without Borders (TWB) is a global community of over 100,000 language volunteers helping people get vital information and be heard, whatever language they speak.
Since our founding in 2011, the TWB Community has contributed over 90 million words in 3,077 unique language combinations for over 200 partner organizations. And our impact keeps growing.
Today, TWB is at the core of CLEAR Global, a US-based nonprofit organization that provides language support and technology solutions to partner nonprofits. In order to promote linguistic inclusion and a more equitable access to information, we are also actively building language capacity and raising awareness of language barriers.
