Language is the cornerstone of connection–when used right, it unites ideas, cultures, and opportunities. At KUDO, we see language not as an obstacle but as the essential bridge for global communication. In today’s fast-paced, interconnected world, delivering accessible multilingual communication isn’t just an operational advantage; it’s a critical component of success for businesses, government agencies, and communities alike.
Navigating a Shifting Policy Landscape
Recent changes in U.S. policy–marked by reductions in language access programs and cuts to international aid–pose serious challenges for those who depend on these services. These policy shifts risk impacting millions, from individuals seeking essential public services to organizations striving to expand their global footprint.
But here’s the thing: challenges inspire action, and standing still is not an option. That’s why at KUDO, we are stepping up to lead the way.
Now, more than ever, we’re doubling down on our mission to make multilingual communication effortless, affordable, and accessible; no matter where you are in the world.
Our Strategic Response: Action Over Talk
At KUDO, we are committed to turning challenges into opportunities with a three-pronged approach:
1. Empowering Language Service Providers (LSPs)
LSPs are on the front lines of breaking down communication barriers. To bolster their efforts, we are introducing an AI-powered starter kit paired with a comprehensive onboarding program. This initiative is designed to help LSPs expand their services, streamline operations, and reach even more institutions in need. Join our growing network of LSP partners.
2. Supporting New Clients Amid Uncertainty
For organizations facing the fallout of recent cutbacks–be they non-profits, government bodies, or educational institutions–we are offering complimentary access to the KUDO Platform for a limited time. Our goal is to ensure that language barriers never hinder your mission or compromise your ability to serve your community. Apply for complementary access to the KUDO Platform here.
3. Reinforcing Our Valued Existing Customers
We recognize the resilience of our long-standing clients. To further support your multilingual operations, we are providing additional platform credits, ensuring your ongoing projects continue without disruption. Contact your customer manager to claim additional platform credits.
Paving the Way Toward a More Inclusive Future
The need for seamless, multilingual communication has never been more urgent. By doubling down on our mission, KUDO is not only addressing today’s challenges but also laying the groundwork for a future where language access is universal. Our commitment is clear: to create an environment where every voice is heard, every conversation counts, and barriers to communication are a thing of the past.
The world doesn’t stop communicating, and neither should you.
