NEW YORK, June 7, 2021 – TransPerfect, the world’s largest provider of language and technology solutions for global business, today announced that it has been selected as the translation partner for ChekMarc, a new global community platform focused on positive connections between people around the world.
TransPerfect was chosen to translate web and app content in 36 languages, enabling ChekMarc to connect with audiences globally. With diversity, inclusion, and equal access for all being central values to the upstart platform, the ChekMarc team knew that choosing a language partner that could provide quality translations quickly, cost-effectively, and in a large number of languages was essential.

Designed with ethical technology, ChekMarc lets people connect safely and securely, reducing bias, judgment, bullying, and negativity.

ChekMarc responds to this by focusing on creating uplifting connections that help people do good, learn from each other, and build a spirit of trust and positivity among its users.
The ChekMarc and TransPerfect partnership enabled the platform to launch successfully in 36 languages via ChekMarc.com and the ChekMarc app, available for both iOS and Android.
