About
What is the Language Bank? The Language Bank is a free service provided by the Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences. Its mission is to provide high-quality translation and interpreting services to local non-profits, social services organizations, and outreach initiatives. The program provides our volunteers – Rutgers students, staff, and faculty – with the opportunity to engage with and serve the local community.
How does it work? Prospective clients create an account to enroll in the program, and then submit a description of a translation project. We evaluate the project to ensure it is appropriate for the Language Bank and, if so, match it with a volunteer translator/interpreter. High-stakes projects or those requiring certified translations or under tight deadlines are not suitable for the Language Bank.
