"In the fight against Ebola, of course medical intervention is the first priority. But it is just as important to help people understand the disease and how to fight it - ignorance and rumour have hampered relief efforts. Translators without Borders is a charity that works to overcome the information gap – the picture shows a detail of one of their Ebola posters in Hausa. Lori Thicke is its founder and president - she spoke to Dan Damon"<em> (<a href="https://soundcloud.com/bbc-world-service/world-update-translators-without-borders-take-on-ebola?utm_source=soundcloud&amp;utm_campaign=share&amp;utm_medium=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Listen to the interview)</a>

"'Getting information to Nigeria’s more than 250 ethnic groups who speak more than 500 languages is also a challenge,' Lori Thicke, co-founder of Translators Without Borders, said by phone. 'Only 70 percent of the population can be reached using the four main languages of English, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, she said. The organization is helping to translate some of the Ebola prevention messages.'"

"Translators without Borders is an American nonprofit group. It provides language services to nongovernmental organizations such as, yes, Doctors without Borders.

"Translators without Borders was founded by Thicke and Ros Smith-Thomas in 1993 after Médecins sans Frontières, the medical NGO, asked her company, Lexcelera, to work on a translation project. She asked if they needed translation often, and if giving them the words for free would be like a donation. They said yes to both questions, and TWB was born."

"If you think about ways in which we can try to provide high quality medical information to the world’s population, I don’t know if Wikipedia is the only viable way, but it’s certainly one of the most viable ways we have in the modern network. Translators without Borders is going to take this information from the English language Wikipedia and convert it to many of the world’s other most popular languages."
