Translators without Borders began over 20 years ago in Paris. Over the years, by far the most translated language pair has been English <-> French. This is partly due to the organization’s origins, but it is also because English and French are the chief languages of development in the world. This is true on both ends of the spectrum.\u00a0 The biggest international non-profit organizations are based in the US, UK, France and Switzerland. At the same time\u00a0many beneficiaries have French or English as second languages, making them critical for sharing knowledge.<\/p>\n
We have a fabulous group of English <-> French professional volunteers who are approved to work in our Workspace. But despite their hard work,\u00a0 we often must scramble to cover all the work that comes into the center in this language pair. In fact, the work from English to French has been increasing, and unfortunately, we must turn some away. We are in desperate need of more resources to cover this gap.<\/p>\n
