 A gateway language (GL) is a language into which all our translation resources are being made available to help language communities translate scripture themselves. 
 
-Gateway languages are necessary because many people would not be able to use WA resources if they were only in English.  So, WA has chosen certain national languages, languages of education, and trade languages to be gateway languages. Teams translate these resources into gateway languages so that bilingual translators can then translate the Bible from a gateway language into their own language.
