Translation Center at Bagabag, Nueva Vizcaya, Philippines. Bell also is

Wycliffe was founded in 1942 by William Cameron Townsend. A
missionary to the Cakchiquel Indians of Guatemala, Townsend caught the
vision for translation when Cakchiquel-speaking men expressed their
concern that the Bible was not available to them in the language they
understood clearly. As a result, Townsend resolved that every man,
woman and child should be able to read God’s Word in their own
language.
Since its inception, Wycliffe has made great progress in Bible translation
all around the world. To date, we have played a part in the translation of
Bibles or New Testaments in 740 languages, representing more than 82
million people.
