On SIL from Google AI:
SIL International (formerly Summer Institute of Linguistics) partners with local communities to translate the Bible into minority languages, focusing on sustainable, Scripture-based development. While SIL is an evangelical non-profit, they also collaborate with organizations like USAID on language-related education, such as early grade reading projects in Nepal.Key details regarding SIL and Bible translation:
- Mission: SIL works in 107 countries, with over 1,530 active language projects. They assist in translating Scripture, as well as educational and health materials.
- Methodology: Translation is done in close cooperation with local language communities and, where appropriate, with partner agencies.
- Scope: Projects range from translating specific Bible selections to complete New or Old Testaments.
- Partnerships: While SIL is focused on Bible translation, they operate as a scientific and educational organization, sometimes partnering for literacy projects with organizations like USAID in Nepal.
- Software: SIL develops software for translation and linguistic research, such as FLEx.
For specific Bible translations, SIL provides resources, but the finished work is often released in partnership with local churches and organizations like Wycliffe Bible Translators.
