January 27, 2012 - News from the Translation Center

During the last week 7 humanitarian organizations asked for the translation of 41 files in 8 different language pairs with a total of 82,000 words, and all these requests were accepted by the voluntary translators without borders.

The lack of information in local languages kills people! A public call was made to the community, asking for volunteer translators from English into Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Konkani, Oriya, Malayalam, Marathi, Rajasthani, Sanskrit and Telugu. Please help us spread the word.

The Spanish humanitarian organization Acción contra el Hambrehttp://www.accioncontraelhambre.org/ posted their first translation requests in the Translation Center. Translators without Borders would like to work for other humanitarian organisations in languages such as Spanish, Romanian, Turkish and Russian.

The current issue of Translorial, the journal of the Northern California Translators Association, includes an article on Translators without Borders and our Translation Center entitled TRANSLATING FOR HUMANITY and written by Françoise Herrmann
