Supporting the global Bible translation community

Our Partners

As well as the network of independent national Bible Societies, we work with some fantastic partners.

Every Tribe, Every Nation (ETEN) is a major consortium of funding agencies, collaborating with the major Bible agencies, including UBS, to ensure responsible distribution of financial resources, and to promote acceleration, archiving (Digital Bible Library), distribution and the use of digital tools.

The Forum of Bible Agencies International (FOBAI) is the highest-level global alliance of Bible agencies and partners, focussing particularly on collaboration and quality assurance. UBS is a collaborating agency of FOBAI.

SIL

SIL is a global organization involved in language development and Bible translation. UBS and SIL work in partnership at many levels. One of the major areas of cooperation is the development of the Paratext translation software.

Le Coin du Traducteur

Le Coin du Traducteur is an inter-agency site for translators and translation consultants offering news of publications, events and conferences, resources and links to resources, and opportunities to connect with others involved in Bible translation work in francophone contexts. It is co-managed by Andy Warren-Rothlin and an SIL colleague.
