WHY YOUR MOTHER LANGUAGE MATTERS (AND WHY WE CELEBRATE EVERY ONE OF THEM)

At YOKO, language is more than our work — it’s our passion, our mission, and our way of bringing people together. And while we spend our days translating between dozens of languages, we never forget where it all begins: the mother tongue.

Every Language Is a World🌍

Your mother language is the first one you heard, the one you sang in as a child, the one you dream in. It’s the language of home, memory, identity — and for billions of people, it’s the heart of who they are.

We work with over 100 languages, and every single one is a doorway into a culture, a way of seeing the world. That’s why we love celebrating not just the big, global languages — but also the ones spoken in smaller communities, with just a few hundred or thousand speakers. They matter too.

Language Loss Is Real🛑

Did you know that one language disappears every two weeks? According to UNESCO, nearly 40% of the world’s languages are at risk of disappearing. That’s not just a loss of vocabulary — it’s a loss of stories, songs, knowledge, traditions.

That’s why language work matters. Translation is not just about communication — it’s about preserving identity, respecting diversity, and making space for every voice.

Our Role as a Translation Company📚

At YOKO, we’re proud to work with clients who care about inclusive, multilingual communication. From NGOs to global brands, more and more people understand that language access is human access.

Whether it's translating legal information into indigenous languages, localizing e-learning platforms, or creating multilingual campaigns — we’re here to help language live.

Let’s Keep Talking💡

This April, we’re not just celebrating a single language. We’re celebrating the right to speak your own language, to be heard and understood — no matter where you’re from or what language you call home.

Because at the end of the day, language is a connection. And at Yoko, that’s what we do best.
