===TED Translators===
TED Translators, formerly known as the Open Translation Project (OTP), started as the TED Open Translation Project in May 2009. It intends to "[reach] out to the 4.5 billion people on the planet who don't speak English", according to TED Curator Chris Anderson.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TED Translators |url=https://www.ted.com/about/programs-initiatives/ted-translators |access-date=February 12, 2015 |website=www.ted.com}}</ref> The OTP used crowd-based subtitling platforms to translate the text of TED and TED-Ed videos, as well as to caption and translate videos created in the TEDx program. (Until May 2012 it worked with its technology partner dotSUB, and then with the [[Open-source software|open source]] translation tool [[Amara (subtitling)|Amara]]). When the project was launched, 300 translations had been completed in 40 languages by 200 volunteer transcribers.<ref name="redorbit.com"/> By May 2015, more than 70,000 sets of subtitles in 107 languages<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ted.com/participate/translate/otp-2014-annual-report|title=2014 annual report: TED Open Translation Project {{!}} Translate {{!}} Participate |website=TED|access-date=June 18, 2016}}</ref> had been completed by (an all-time total of) 38,173 volunteer translators.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.amara.org/en/teams/ted/|title=Dashboard - TED {{!}} Amara|website=amara.org|access-date=June 18, 2016}}</ref>

The project helped generate a significant increase in international visitors to TED's website. Traffic from outside the US has increased 350 percent: there has been 600 percent growth in Asia, and more than 1000 percent in South America.<ref>{{cite press release|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/at-1-year-anniversary-teds-open-translation-project-celebrates-more-than-7000-completed-translations-from-4000-volunteers-in-75-languages-93683249.html|title=At 1-Year Anniversary, TED's Open Translation Project Celebrates More Than 7,000 Completed Translations From 4,000 Volunteers in 75 Languages|website=PR Newswire|access-date=June 18, 2016}}</ref>
