Resources
We do our best to support our volunteers in their learning journey. On this page you'll find the guide we've written to onboard new volunteers, a guide to the recommended pro bono translation platform, in partnership with Crowdin, and finally. a glossary guide pointing you to the wealth of resources built up over the decades and available online at ProZ.com.
Pro Bono Guide
Being a volunteer on pro bono is no different in many ways from your regular professional work. Think of it as putting the "pro" into "pro bono".In this guide we consider professional practices, organising your work, partnering with other translators, your mindset in approaching this work, and key questions of language awareness.
