Industry focus

Non Profit, NGO & Development Sector Translation

Supportive translations for NGOs, charities and development programmes worldwide.

We work with NGOs, INGOs, charities and development agencies on multilingual communication and reporting.

Non profit and development work often spans many countries, partners and funding streams. Reports, proposals and community materials need to be accessible to local stakeholders and international donors. Our translators handle project proposals, baseline and endline studies, monitoring and evaluation reports, training materials and community outreach content. They are familiar with development language around livelihoods, protection, WASH, education, health, governance and humanitarian response. We help organisations communicate clearly with communities, staff, partners and funders, while respecting sensitive topics and local context.

  • Handling large multilingual reporting requirements for donors and stakeholders.
  • Translating emotional, community-focused content with appropriate tone.
  • Managing short deadlines for grant proposals, field updates and emergency responses.
  • Ensuring confidentiality when translating sensitive beneficiary data.
