Aflatoun meets multilingual challenges with Wordbee
 Aflatoun is a dynamic, bottom-up network of organizations interested in education. The Aflatoun programme operates throughout the world in over 80 countries; covering so many different cultures poses many multilingual challenges. While most material is adapted and translated locally, Aflatoun provides core information in at least four languages: English, French, Spanish and Arabic – a goal made possible thanks to a network of dedicated volunteer translators.
Aflatoun has chosen Wordbee Translator to provide them with both a professional collaborative working environment and powerful translation tools, making the entire work process easier. “Amongst different software and cloud-based systems, Wordbee provides a solution for translators and proofreaders that is flexible and easy to use and to administer.
It is straightforward to implement, user-friendly and translators love it. ” confirms Sophie Conin, Communications Manager from Aflatoun. “We are very proud to enable Aflatoun to continue to excel in multilingual communication, whilst bettering the collaborative working environment of their extensive network of translators, editors and copywriters.” added José Vega, CEO of Wordbee.
