Why It Matters

One Voice for Every Audience You Serve

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 translating medical records 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.

Multilingual Fundraising Campaigns

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.
