We are very excited to announce that Tarjimly is joining CLEAR Global, becoming the newest addition to our suite of tools to promote language access across the world and strengthening our impact.
A shared vision for breaking language barriers
Since our founding, CLEAR Global has been committed to helping people to get information in their language. Through our language services, programs and research work, we’ve partnered with social impact organizations around the world to ensure communities are reached.
Founded in 2017, Tarjimly has championed this same mission with firm dedication. Their commitment to equity, access, and justice for immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and the organizations supporting them aligns perfectly with our values. Tarjimly has demonstrated that suitable language services help build trust, ensure compliance, and ultimately, protect people’s health and legal status.
Language technology is moving quickly, but language models do not work in the languages of the most vulnerable and very few models speak those languages.
By welcoming Tarjimly into CLEAR Global’s range of programs, we’re creating a comprehensive solution that combines our deep expertise in language services with Tarjimly’s human-centered interpretation approach to on-demand interpretation services. This integration is particularly powerful given CLEAR Global’s focus on voice data, which pairs naturally with Tarjimly’s real-time interpretation capabilities and creates new opportunities for innovation in spoken language access.
What Tarjimly brings
Tarjimly has built an impressive suite of services that will enhance our collective impact:
- On-demand interpretation: real-time language support in 30 seconds via hotline, web, or mobile app, with both audio and video capabilities available, as well as short form translations.
- Technology infrastructure: developed by MIT alumni, Tarjimly’s tech stack makes it seamless to connect with the right language support, whenever and wherever it’s needed.
A 200,000+ strong volunteer community
Perhaps most exciting is welcoming Tarjimly’s volunteers into Translators without Borders, our community of linguists. Both organizations have been powered by the passion and expertise of volunteer interpreters and translators who believe in our mission. Together, our combined volunteer network will exceed 200,000 people worldwide.
This extraordinary community represents a global movement of enthusiasts committed to ensuring that language is never a barrier to accessing essential services, understanding important information, or receiving support in critical moments.
Tarjimly’s volunteers, many of whom are trained in best practices and trauma-informed support for displaced people, will bring invaluable expertise to our community. Their experience supporting refugees and humanitarian teams complements CLEAR Global’s work across the broader social impact sector, creating opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaborative innovation.
Looking forward
This integration strengthens our ability to serve people and organizations across the social impact spectrum. As nonprofits, both CLEAR Global and Tarjimly have always operated with a simple principle: all resources go directly toward our mission. Bringing Tarjimly into CLEAR Global allows us to serve more communities, address people’s needs and continue expanding access to language services.
We’re grateful to the Tarjimly team and community for joining us in this next chapter. Together, we’re not just combining services but building a movement for true language justice, where every person can access information, services, and support in their language.
Welcome to the CLEAR Global community, Tarjimly. Let’s break down language barriers together.
