    In this episode of the Bible Translation Innovation Podcast, hosts Isabella Scarinzi and Chris “Klappy” Klapp examine the current state of the All Access Goals for Bible translation, with particular attention to languages at risk of not being completed by 2033. They welcome Peter Huang, operations director at the Innovation Lab, who explains how data analysis and AI are being used to identify at-risk languages and surface gaps in progress. The conversation emphasizes the role of collaboration, shared data, and clear visibility across translation efforts to help ensure that Scripture reaches communities still waiting for access.
