New ways to empower people through language and tech
Translators without Borders
The power of over 100,000 volunteer linguists dedicated to bridging the world’s language gaps and responding more sensitively to need.
Language technology
Just 17 languages dominate digital content, and these are not the first languages of many crisis-affected communities. We have years of experience building language technology for languages with few technology resources.
Research & data
Our research focuses on key topics that are often sensitive and under-addressed, bringing much-needed attention to issues that deserve greater recognition and understanding.
Language & communication services
We offer language services in over 200 language pairs. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality language solutions, supported by a vast community of linguists.
CLEAR Global helps people get vital information and be heard, whatever language they speak.
We accomplish this mission through innovative global research and programs, language technology, language service platforms, an experienced, professional staff, and a community of over 100,000 linguists in 148 countries.
28%
28% of Rohingya refugees surveyed in 2018 who said they do not have enough information to make informed decisions.
4 billion
There are approximately 4 billion people who speak a marginalized language, which leaves them out of important global conversations.
80+
We’ve supported programs and on-the-ground partners in over 80 countries, in over 220 languages.

The world’s largest community of humanitarian linguists, Translators without Borders
Our global community of 100,000+ linguists and translators are central to our mission. Their passion and expertise closes language gaps worldwide.
The TWB platform
Our platform connects NGOs with language professionals to make health, humanitarian response, and human rights information available in local languages.
Language services
Our language services help global and local NGOs engage more effectively with people living through crises. We help deliver vital information fast, in the right language.
Tech and data solutions
By training translators and interpreters, creating multilingual glossaries, and collaborating on research and technology, we strengthen language capacity.
“I never thought my language might be considered so important to be put on a device.”
You can help bridge the language gap.
This model works and the need is urgent. Every day, more people are left behind simply because of the language they speak. Our approach is proven.
Now, we need your support to scale it.
We outgrew our name.
CLEAR Global used to be called Translators without Borders. We’ve grown fast over the last five years, and that name no longer reflects all we do—but it still exists as our largest division and the core of our operation.
