What is the Translate-a-thon?
The Translate-a-thon is a short, intense, community-driven translation marathon, where volunteers interested in translation come together to translate materials for the benefit of our local, national and international community. We accept projects from a variety of disciplines in a variety of different formats: including print, video and digital/web-based. We welcome all languages to our event. Translate-a-thon also promotes a sense of community among translators.We welcome current students and alums, faculty and staff, teachers and students from local high schools, prospective transfer students, professional translators and other interested parties.

Translate-a-thon 2018 worked on translations for Mexican journalist Emilio Gutierrez Soto, who was seeking asylum. The National Press Corps conducted an update on Emilio's case in May 2021, and they discuss the role of Translate-a-thon in this conversation!
