Translation speed 125 years faster

Wycliffe Bible Translators expects to have the Bible — or at least some of it — written in all of the world's 6,909 spoken languages by 2025. About 2,200 languages remain without a Bible, which represents about 350 million people — mostly in India, China, sub-Saharan Africa and Papua New Guinea. Portable computers and satellites get the credit for speeding things up by about 125 years. Previously, a Wycliffe missionary family or team could spend decades learning and transcribing one language in a remote corner of the Earth.
