Reach donors, beneficiaries, and policy audiences in every language you operate in. Native-speaking specialists experienced in donor communications, advocacy, and grassroots engagement.
Charities, foundations, and international development organizations communicate with three very different audiences in the same week: institutional donors and major foundations expecting board-grade reporting; beneficiary communities who need information in their own language on the platforms they actually use; and policy audiences such as parliaments, regulators, and ministries who read formal briefs in the working language of the region. Each audience has a different tone, a different platform mix, and a different cultural expectation, but they all need to recognize the same organization behind the words.
BeTranslated has worked with humanitarian, advocacy, and development organizations since 2002. Every NGO engagement is built around three principles: linguists who specialize in development-sector terminology and tone, including medical translation for health programs and professional translation services across donor and beneficiary languages; transparent nonprofit pricing including pro bono or reduced rates for accredited organizations; and a flexible engagement model that scales up for emergency response and back down between campaigns, with multilingual content production for ongoing advocacy and stewardship work. Confidentiality and donor data handling are documented in a signed NDA before any content is shared.
Annual reports, grant applications, board updates, and major-donor stewardship materials translated into the working languages of your funder base. Native-speaking translators with experience in philanthropy and institutional fundraising.
Information, safeguarding, and program content translated into beneficiary languages on the platforms they actually use, whether that is WhatsApp, Facebook, local radio scripts, or printed leaflets. Cultural review per market.
Policy briefs, parliamentary submissions, regulator filings, and advocacy campaign assets translated for ministries, parliaments, and intergovernmental bodies. Working knowledge of UN, EU, OECD, and AU terminology.
Prioritized turnaround for emergency response content: situation reports, safety information, donor appeals, and media statements. Rapid turnaround for short content, native-speaking translators on stand-by for ongoing crises.
Multilingual donor acquisition campaigns across paid search, paid social, and email. Locally tuned creative and giving-page localization across the markets that generate the majority of unrestricted income.
Internal HR, training, and safeguarding content localized for field offices in every country of operation. Includes regional-language editing to align with the way staff actually speak the language, not the textbook version.
“Reliable, trustworthy and customer-centric This is the summation of Michael, Suzy and their team of translators. I have worked with them for over a year, and they have been my translation service for advertising in many European languages - from Swedish to German to Russian, and not always from English! Consider them a rare find.”
