Share & Grow
Our mission is to share knowledge, offer free tools, organize language resources and facilitate community initiatives.
What is Translation Commons?
Translation Commons is a nonprofit US Public Charity powered by Translators. We are a volunteer-based online community aiming to bridge all gaps in the language industry.
We are a self-managed volunteer community, we share ideas, resources and work passionately together for the common good.
We facilitate cross-functional collaboration among the diverse sectors and stakeholders within the language industry and instigate transparency, trust and free knowledge.
Our mission is to offer free access to tools and all other available resources, to facilitate community-driven projects, to empower linguists and to share educational and language assets.
How you can help
Our volunteers are the heart and soul of our community. Their passion for language and their expertise in technology are the cornerstones of all our initiatives. Their selfless commitment and clear vision of the roadmap that our industry needs to follow are a testament to the merit of a united global language community.

Translation Commons is a nonprofit and it belongs to the community.
Everything you see has been created by volunteers like you. But there are some things we still need to buy to be able to run the site.
You can support the community by making a one-off or regular donation of any amount.
Your donation will help us develop the community and put even more resources for everyone to use.
