Translators Without Borders, is a US non-profit association, which provides free translation services for humanitarian not-for-profit organizations. It was established in 2010 as a sister organization of Traducteurs sans frontières, founded in 1993 by Lexcelera Translations (formerly Eurotexte).

The institution assists on a pro-bono basis such organizations as Doctors Without Borders, Medecins du Monde, UNICEF, Oxfam, Handicap International and many others. Translators Without Borders has translated reports, interviews, and briefings from conflict-torn areas around the world, such as Burundi, Sudan, and Afghanistan. The organization translates millions of words per year. In the six first months of 2011, Translators Without Borders donated over 1 million words to charities, which is equivalent to $200,000 released for NGOs.

Translators Without Borders is based in Massachusetts and its President is Lori Thicke. It is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation in the U.S. This means that all donations are tax deductible for American donors.
