In an effort to make scientific literature more accessible worldwide, CFI has created the CFI Translations Project - https://translationsproject.org/

In many parts of the Muslim world, obtaining books that explain and celebrate science written in one’s own language can be prohibitively difficult, especially in areas where scientific concepts such as evolution are perceived by religious extremists as threats to their authority.

The works of world-renowned evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins have propagated so freely online in Muslim-majority countries, where there is an acute hunger for scientific literature. These unofficial versions of Dawkins’ books are now officially translated from English to the local language by passionate amateurs and enthusiasts. These official translations have been downloaded by millions of readers worldwide.
