The free Tarjimly app connects nonprofits with bi-lingual volunteers to overcome language barriers.
Tarjimly was founded in 2017 to improve the lives of refugees and the efficiency of humanitarian services by eliminating language barriers. Over 9,000+ Tarjimly volunteers have helped over 17,000 refugees and aid workers in critical events during emergency medical services, asylum interviews, trauma counseling, and rescue operations. Volunteers live in 95 different countries, speak over 80 different languages, and engage in over 3,000 translations per week.
How TARJIMLY works
The Tarjimly mobile app allows the world’s 3 billion multilingual speakers to remotely volunteer their language skills as translators and interpreters for the 65 million displaced people. Today, it is the most accessible translator service in the world.
When a refugee, asylum seeker, or humanitarian worker requests a translator for a particular language, Tarjimly’s machine learning matching algorithm selects the best volunteer available in our community of 8,000+ people. This person is then connected in a live chat with the person in need, where they can send text, documents, and start a phone or video call.
- Refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants, and people who support them download the Tarjimly mobile app on iOS or Android.
- Volunteers and beneficiaries needs choose their language and Tarjimly finds and connects them to a translator in seconds.
- Tarjimly connects the Translator and Beneficiary in a live chat session where they can send text, voice notes, documents, or start a live phone call.

Overcoming the language barrier
"A nonprofit contacted families to see what help they needed items during the pandemic. A volunteer delivering aid couldn't find their home and wanted to contact them to see if he had the correct address. But he couldn't speak Arabic and was unable to communicate with the family. He used the Tarjimly app to connect with a volunteer interpreter to confirm the address using Tarjimly’s Conference Calling feature. The interpreter was able to share the correct address with the volunteer". Read more case studies here.
