About this app

Tarjimly is an app that lets you volunteer as a translator or interpreter for refugees and NGOs around the world. Here's how it works:

1 - Bilinguals sign up and get notified whenever a refugee needs a translator. They connect in a live session where they can send text, pictures, documents, or even get on a phone call. High performing volunteers can even become certified!

2 - Refugees and Aid Workers sign up and request a translator based on their needs (like asylum interviews, emergency medicine, navigating a new country, or any humanitarian need). Tarjimly uses machine learning to connect them the best available translator in seconds.

3 - Everyone can signup as a Community Member, so they you can donate to support refugee translations, read impact stories, and invite 10 bilingual friends to signup.

Our mission is to mobilize 1 million volunteers to improve humanitarian services forever by eliminating language barriers for refugees.

As a caseworker with refugees, this app has been invaluable. I have used it maybe a few dozen times now, for short and long conference calls (using premium subscription, which is a great deal!). Typically the interpreter was available right away or in a few minutes, but I have had a few times where I was waiting but did not get an interpreter after even 5-10 minutes. There have been a few tech issues in the past but they're always cleared up - seems like the team is actively improving the app.

This app has been a complete lifesaver. Yes - sometimes the connection is poor but it is better than nothing. I have been working with refugees all summer and this app has given them a voice and also allowed me to explain things so much faster than I could have otherwise. Interpreters can be so expensive, and sometimes you just need to communicate something simple. Having this at my fingertips for FREE has helped so many individuals.

Whatever I try to do in the app, I always see the 'Congratulations! You're now an official Tarjimly translator! Yay!' screen. Whenever I try to accept an incoming request, the 'Yay!' message is shown as well, rendering the application useless. I have the latest update, and give the audio recording permissions explicitly every time I try to use the app, if that helps your debugging. Will keep this app till next update, then I'm afraid I'll uninstall it as malfunctioning one.
