The VITAL program (Vernacular Initiative for Translation and Literacy) successfully and efficiently trains Papua New Guinean translators in Milne Bay Province. VITAL conducts workshops for teams of translators from many languages, not only to leverage the help of consultants and trainers between translation teams, but also to promote healthy teamwork among translators of related languages. In the way that VITAL uses a cluster approach, it meshes well with The Seed Company drive—to accelerate translation, for this generation.
