Let's launch TRI-TRAB

The Translation Industry Transparency Board, or TRI-TRAB, is a platform designed to give translation professionals a voice. Unfortunately, the translation industry can be a murky and opaque place, where speaking out against exploitative practices by translation agencies doesn’t usually bring about the desired change.

TRI-TRAB is here to transform all that. This online platform is a safe space where translators can anonymously submit complaints against translation agencies who are trying to exploit them.

By unmasking these unscrupulous agencies, TRI-TRAB empowers translators to stand up for their rights and to hold translation agencies accountable for their actions. Through the power of SEO, TRI-TRAB is able to spread the word about these agencies – so (ethical) translation buyers will think twice before hiring them – and put pressure on them to change their practices.

We’re still working out some of the legal stuff to make sure we’re bulletproof against potential lawsuits (obviously, we don’t want to invite trouble, even if there’s no ground for it). To this end, we need to raise ca. GBP 3500 to cover the fees of an international law and data protection expert, plus developer's fees and other operational costs.

Anything you can donate helps. Thank you!
