Machine Translation for Humanitarian Efforts

Here at Jibbigo, we believe that language shouldn't be a barrier to humanitarian aid. We work with non-profit groups around the world, lending our technology to facilitate language translation between doctors, volunteers and those in need. As a diverse group of scientists and well travelled language enthusiasts, we are happy to extend our products to help make a positive difference.

Humanitarian Exercises in Thailand

Jibbigo is an ongoing participant in an annual humanitarian effort in Thailand organized by the U.S. government and its allies. The exercise creates multi-national solutions for humanitarian challenges, as well as building interoperability and positive relations between participants from multiple countries. During these exercises, Jibbigo is used by U.S. physicians in order to communicate with Thai patients in rural areas.

Japan - Jibbigo donates translation app to Relief Workers

In March of 2011, a 9.0 earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated swaths of northern Japan.  Many countries deployed relief and rescue teams to the area, and Jibbigo was honored to provide our translation app for free in support of these efforts. Some comments from recipients:

  • "Way to go guys, I've had this product for quite a while and it has helped me heaps!! Would recommend anyone coming to assist to get this. Good luck to all who are here to help."

  • "Your application has already been extraordinarily helpful in our work, and being able to provide all of our members with this will save us from many delays."

  • "I am deploying to Sendai Japan on Saturday. Many thanks!!!! This will be a VERY valuable tool for our relief team. Works great by the way."

  • "You have helped out tremendously. We have been in Japan for 9 days, but we don't know how long we'll be here. Could be 21-45 days. We're here to help out until the mission is complete. Thank you again for your contribution to our Navy/Marine Corps team."

  • "I greatly appreciate your services."

  • "Your product is great, and has really helped me help some of the Japanese evacuees. Your customer support is top-notch, timely and very helpful. Thank you."

    Haiti - Ongoing effort to build Creole - English language pair

    While rebuilding efforts have been taking place after the earthquake disaster in Haiti in early 2010, there is still a long way to go before Haiti can be restored to a safe and healthy place to live and visit.  Jibbigo is working on producing a Creole-English language pair which will be donated to aid organizations.  Volunteers who can speak and read Haitian Creole (Kreyol) who live in the San Francisco Bay Area are requested to contact Jibbigo to set up an appointment for speech recording.  For more information, to arrange for transportation, or to set up an appointment, please email Miriam.martin@jibbigo.com.
