The FBI targets three main categories:
Languages with 500,000+ speakers where translation has stalled or has not yet started.
Top 100 languages in need of a second translation or critical revision.
Aquifer reference text development in six strategic languages.
Our goal is to move beyond traditional methods, leveraging emerging technologies and innovative approaches to ensure these translations reach their communities as quickly as possible.
