Empowering Communities Through Technology

We provide the technical foundation and linguistic expertise for every community to flourish in the digital age.

Language Equity

People flourish when they can communicate in their own language. We build the tools to make that possible.

Local Partnership

We equip communities with the technical tools they need to reach their own language development goals.

Global Infrastructure

We share expert data and open-source resources to help every language community reach its full, God-given potential.

Software & Standards

We rely on open tools and processes to develop and support over 50 linguistic and translation products, including:

Powerful Software
Professional Fonts
Unique Writing Systems
Mobile Apps and Keyboards
Collaborative Web Apps
Open Standards (including Unicode, ISO 639-3, and LIFT)
