Created in the UK in 1979, the Plain English Campaign has been fighting for crystal-clear writing ever since.

Quoting Prime Minister Tony Blair “The Plain English Campaign has played a major role in improving the way public bodies communicate with citizens. However, there is still plenty of room for improvement – not least from politicians – so the campaign’s work is far from over.”

If we translators receive clearer texts, we will no longer have a hard time figuring out misleading texts, which usually and painstakingly lead us to produce inaccurate translations.

Those of you who have a hard time with jargon, suffer no more!

The Plain English Campaign website offers you a number of examples and free guides for plain, crystal-clear writing.

Check that out!
