Today Translators without Borders announced the milestone of <a href="https://translatorswithoutborders.org/50-million-words-milestone/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">50 million words translated by Translators without Borders</a> for development aid and crisis response programs delivered by humanitarian partners.

When I founded Translators without Borders, I couldn't have guessed how many people would join the TWB movement, and make it an amazing source of help in global humanitarian crises.

Whether we are talking about the Rohingya refugees, the Ebola crisis or Grenfell Tower, TWB has been there to help the most vulnerable people - those who don't speak our language.

That's why this week's milestone of 50 million words contributed to aid groups is so important. It's a stunning accomplishment by the thousands of people who are part of the Translators without Borders community. I salute you.
