Two months in, what has the Open Language Initiative achieved? #OLI #OpenLanguageInitiative #LanguageAccess #Translation
Language is a Lifeline. Help Us Break Barriers. OLI is a UK-registered humanitarian charity. We believe language is a fundamental human right and a powerful tool for justice. Our mission is to ensure that no one is denied vital information, support, or opportunities because of language barriers. Latest Numbers as of June 2025: +230 volunteer linguists 37 languages covered +400k words translated 18 non-profits served Latest Projects We support international non-profits that provide essential services to refugees and translate vital documents that ensure that they can effectively communicate and provide support. We are proud to do our part for cross-cultural movements dedicated to empowering women and helping to break down language barriers, facilitating access to education and advocacy. We are empowering a global health initiative: By translating content from English into multiple languages, we’re helping to democratise access to reliable, evidence-based medical information. ‘Thanks to OLI’s translations, IRC clients can access vital resettlement guides in their native languages, empowering them to rebuild their lives.’ Mary Alice Kukowski, International Rescue Committee
