NGO and Nonprofit Translations
CSOFT delivers NGO and nonprofit translations that make it possible for organizations to communicate worldwide and across desired languages
Like global nonprofit organizations themselves, NGO and nonprofit translations are indispensable to the success of charitable initiatives without borders, as well as for organizations operating in multiple languages domestically.
For non-governmental organizations (NGOs) serving people across national borders or regional demarcations, as well as CSOs (civil society organizations) and other domestic organizations in multilingual countries where multiple languages are commonly spoken, such as the United States, the ability to communicate across languages is one of the most vital operational requirements for successfully realizing their chartered goals.
From food assistance and hunger relief to international healthcare efforts, translating for NGOs and NPOs means linguists and the people they support need to be able to receive and transmit information quickly and effectively, regardless of its origin or destination. In many cases, humanitarian organizations need to communicate directly with the people they seek to serve across language barriers.
NGO translation encapsulates a wide range of granular content and content management needs. From organizing multilingual documentation and legal agreements to distributing public service announcements, pamphlets, and infographics on a global scale, the scale and urgency of translated communications required by nonprofits demands the support of a world-class language service provider, or LSP. With our linguistic and technological resources, CSOFT ensures NGOs’ translated information is delivered when and where it is needed to provide aid. As digitization becomes more prevalent in the way nonprofits engage their stakeholders and beneficiaries, the growing range and complexity of these communications further deepens the importance of multilingual localization support in mobile app interfaces, online service portals and help resources, specially designed chatbots, and online training materials created to engage global teams.
Key communication areas relating to NGO and nonprofit translation include:
- Staffing and volunteer recruitment
- Funding and outreach
- Legal agreement translations
- In-field interpreting (including simultaneous, consecutive and over-the-phone interpreting) and minority language translations
- Global content management and multilingual content management

NGO-Focused MTPE Solutions for Optimal Volume and Speed: Ensuring Scalability for NGO and Nonprofit Translations
One of the most common challenges facing translation at NGOs and nonprofits is the large quantity of documents and materials that need to be translated and processed efficiently and on variable notice. Depending on the project, this demand can quickly overwhelm traditional solutions that rely on human translators alone.
To counter these challenges, CSOFT has developed industry-leading machine translation (MT) solutions that allow us to combine the power of technology with our human subject matter experts and process large quantities of translations for all NGOs and nonprofits, both efficiently and with our certified quality assurance.
