From Zero to Digital

Translation Commons believes every language deserves a place in the digital world. We’re committed to bridging the digital divide, ensuring all communities can communicate, learn, and thrive online in their native tongue.

Our Purpose

We are a dedicated community of technology and language professionals united by a powerful mission: to ensure every language thrives in the digital age.

Modern building architecture

Translation Commons is a proud partner of UNESCO Language Technology Initiatives

In close collaboration with native speakers worldwide and UNESCO’s language technology programs, we actively support the growth and long-term sustainability of marginalized languages. We are pioneering the Language Digitization Initiative, bridging the digital divide to ensure that all speakers of any language have the option to use their language comfortably online.

Addressing the Digital Challenge

The digital age poses a risk to many languages, potentially isolating communities and eroding cultural heritage. Translation Commons directly tackles this with our Language Digitization Initiative.

Collaborating closely with UNESCO and global language communities, we deliver free resources, accessible technologies, and vital training. This empowers native speakers to build a strong digital presence for their languages, securing their future in the online world
