Coursera’s mission is to help make a world-class education accessible to anyone. One challenge we face is language: While the majority of our partners teach in English, only 40% of Courserians live in English-speaking countries. With this in mind, we are excited to announce the launch of Coursera’s Global Translator Community (GTC), a program designed to greatly expand the number of courses offering high-quality subtitle translations. The GTC empowers all Coursera users to help us make education for everyone–regardless of language limitations–a reality. Now, anyone can contribute translations by signing up on our translations page. New translators will be directed to an online portal, which features active translations projects, translations resources, and ways to interact with other community members and the Coursera team.
