About
The open-source ethos is central to what we do at General Translation. Our flagship internationalisation (i18n) libraries are open source under the MIT licence.
We’re now supporting other open-source developers who build and maintain software for the public good, starting with $15,000 in unrestricted funding for fifteen developers. Each will receive a $1,000 cash grant, as well as $5,000 in credits for General Translation’s platform.
Who should apply
To be eligible, projects must:
- Meet the Open Source Definition
- Be actively developed or maintained (commits within the past year)
- Be able to receive funding through GitHub Sponsors
We’re looking to fund projects that many developers rely on but lack institutional support. We’re also keen to fund creative, novel directions, particularly more projects in language infrastructure and i18n (though this is not a requirement).
Apply or nominate a project
To be considered, simply link your project or nominate another developer’s repo in the comments on our post:
Submissions and nominations will be accepted on a rolling basis. Payments will be made through GitHub Sponsors, and credits granted directly on the GT platform. Grantee projects will also be featured on our blog.
We’re excited to see what you’re building!
