Translation part of mission
- Wikimedia is the parent organization of the multi-lingual encyclopedia Wikipedia. Their Wikidata database would be a good place to store information on translations in a way wikipedians can add and edit. They have a good system to translate the software of Wikipedia and many related projects into many languages. Maybe a similar system could be useful for collaborative translating works of science.
- COAR, Confederation of Open Access Repositories has translated the controlled vocabulary used by repositories into many languages.

- Whose Knowledge: A global campaign to center the knowledge of marginalized communities (the majority of the world) on the internet.
- The Open Climate Knowledge is working on a WikiData-based system that helps with reading difficult text by translating important terms.
