October 12th 2017, <a href="http://www.translatorswithoutborders.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Translators without Borders</a> - the non-profit organization founded by translation company Lexcelera - announced a major milestone: <strong><a href="https://translatorswithoutborders.org/50-million-words-milestone/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">50 million words translated</a></strong> to support global aid.

In just 6 years, Translators without Borders (TWB) has provided 50 million words of translation to humanitarian organizations for development aid and crisis response programs.

&nbsp;

From facilitating communication with the Rohingya refugees to informing the Grenfell Tower survivors to translating health information during the Ebola crisis, <strong>Translators without Borders has been on the front lines of virtually every international humanitarian crisis</strong> to help the world's most vulnerable people.

<p style="text-align: right;">“<strong>Fifty million is not just a number,</strong>" said Lori Thicke, the Co-founder, with Ros Smith-Thomas, of <a href="/?p=10164" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Traducteurs sans frontières</a> (in 1993) and the Founder of Translators without Borders (in 2010).</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">"The contribution of 50 million words to global aid is a stunning achievement made possible by the growing community of Translators without Borders,” said Thicke, who is also Lexcelera's CEO and Founder.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">“I believe that language is the missing piece in humanitarian action and that TWB is working today at scale to fill in that gap.”</p>

Lexcelera salutes the tens of thousands of volunteers who are part of the Translators without Borders community and who have made the milestone of <strong>50 million words</strong> possible.
