Publications
In translation work, we come across new problems to solve every day. Our publications share practical insights from translation experts so you can learn from their experience.
As a Bible translator, you’ll run into specific issues every day when doing your translation work.
Sometimes you simply don’t have enough information to decide how to proceed — you may not have access to exegetical information, the right technology for the case at hand, or simply a gap in your translation theory and practice knowledge.
Chances are, someone else has already run into the same problems. They’ll have been grappled with by translation teams in the past and addressed in existing translation products.
Our publications give practical examples of these situations and the solutions that have been found, and they’re packed with insights to help you in your work.

Publications produced by UBS support the translation team in their work. They are written by translators and consultants, sharing insights and solutions to academic and practical problems in the work of translation.
The Translation Landscape comprises a network of many organisations, individuals and technologies — all with one goal in mind: to bring Scriptures to everyone in the language and medium of their choice.
UBS tracks progress, supports efficiency and ensures quality from end to end of the translation process. The process starts with the local Bible Society, part of UBS, engaging and collaborating with the local church, through to storing, managing and distributing the translated Scripture using the Digital Bible Library, developed and maintained by UBS.
