Translation Glossary Project
Created by the community for development work

Good communication is essential in international development work. But often there is little support for interpretation and translation in local languages. Community members in Malawi have worked together to solve this problem. They created a free Chichewa-English translation glossary of development terminology. Download and share it with those who speak Chichewa, and those who want to learn.

Do you want to create your own translation glossary in another language? Don’t worry if you’re not a professional translator – you don’t need to be! Download our free handbook to find out we did it, and how you can do it too.
