We need to read the world differently.

At a time of increasingly narrow editorial lines, algorithmically driven news bubbles and monolingual mainstream media, Translator magazine offers a simple and radical alternative: platforming and translating long-form journalism from beyond the Anglosphere.

We give you a wider, slower, more expansive view of the world, rooted in the diverse media landscapes beyond English, from the publications and the writers closest to the stories they are reporting on.

Translator punctures the monolingual media bubble, and invites you to celebrate the writers, journalists and editors working beyond it.

We believe this is important.

The world is in dramatic flux.

It’s easy to get trapped in news cycles that feel like doom loops, bombarded with information without feeling any better informed.

Global journalism has never been more essential – to hold power to account and allow us to be active global citizens rather than passive consumers. It’s also never been more under threat.

The world does not take place in one language. Why do we still read it as if it did?

Started in London in 2025, Translator is a global community open to all, whether you speak one language or five.

Rather than flattening the world, we help our readers engage with its diversity. We believe language should be a bridge not a barrier.
