Georgetown Language Project Details
The Georgetown Language Project is a student group at Georgetown University in which undergraduate students provide free translation of materials for local nonprofits, schools, and organizations. The goal of the group is to promote language accessibility within the DC community through its translation efforts.Fifty students with advanced language proficiency participate in the program. They speak a wide range of languages including Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, and more. The group translates hundreds of pages of material each year, which are all reviewed by language experts for accuracy. A passion for translation and making information accessible to all is a driving force for many students to join the Georgetown Language Project, according to Lee. "Our members' dedication and passion for social impact have been key to the Georgetown Language Project's success," he says.For the students of the Georgetown Language Project, the effort to provide translations for community members is well worth it.
