Live Ukrainian Translation for Community Organizations & Nonprofits

How to provide real-time Ukrainian translation for community organizations & nonprofits — live captions and spoken translation with no interpreter booth, no headsets, and no app for the audience.

Why Ukrainian translation matters for community organizations & nonprofits

The Ukrainian-speaking population in the United States has grown rapidly since 2022, and schools, churches, and resettlement organizations across the country now serve Ukrainian families weekly. Ukrainian (українська) is spoken by about 40 million people worldwide.

Food banks, resettlement agencies, legal-aid clinics, and neighborhood associations serve residents in a dozen languages on volunteer budgets. Interpretation has always been the missing service — too expensive to schedule, impossible to staff. Live AI translation makes every workshop, intake desk, and community meeting accessible for the cost of a phone.

Many recent arrivals read English better than they follow it spoken. Dual live captions — original and translated side by side — help people build language skills while staying informed.

How to set it up

  1. Broadcast community meetings. Start a room, post the QR code at the door, and residents follow the meeting in their own language — one meeting for the whole neighborhood instead of one per language.
  2. Run two-way sessions at service desks. At intake or help desks, a live two-language session lets staff and clients each speak naturally and read the other side translated.
  3. Keep multilingual records. Transcripts of workshops and info sessions can be shared afterward with residents in the languages they read.

Try it in the next five minutes: the free plan includes credits that renew every month — enough to run a real program in Ukrainian today.
