The firm is a member of the Association of Translation Companies and the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA). Language Connect is a Company Partner of the Market Research Society (MRS).

Community Connect

The firm promotes languages and provides workshops for school children about careers in translation and interpreting.[1] The company supports people in developing countries with microfinance for their businesses via Kiva.[2]

In November 2012, Language Connect became a Gold Sponsor of Translators Without Borders after donating 10% of its profits to the non-profit organisation.[3] The donation funded 200 days of training at a translator training centre operated by Translators Without Borders in Nairobi, Kenya.[4]
