The Nonprofit at the Border That Translates 170 Languages.

Respond Crisis Translation is a nonprofit organization that provides interpreters for migrants and refugees in the US asylum system. With over 2,500 interpreters and translators who speak more than 170 languages, Respond fills a gap in the system, particularly for uncommon languages spoken by a few thousand people. The organization was founded in 2019 and has since expanded its network globally, working with hundreds of nonprofits and directly assisting migrants free of charge. Respond's services are crucial in ensuring that migrants have adequate interpretation during the legal process, as speaking an uncommon tongue can increase the likelihood of being denied asylum.
