Translate a story, gain a community
The Lingua project at Global Voices works to bring down barriers to understanding through mission-driven translation.
Global Voices stories feature people and experiences rarely seen in mainstream media, and our hundreds of volunteers translate them into dozens of languages. But it’s not just about the stories. By contributing to Lingua, you develop new skills and perspectives, connect with people around the world, and help improve online language diversity.
