Begun: 1973
- The Institute for Bible Translation (IBT) is a non-profit organization founded in 1973 in Sweden (worked in the first years secretly) whose main aim is translation and publication of the Bible in the languages of non-Slavic peoples living in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union nations. Some of these peoples number many millions, other languages have only a few thousand speakers. Some of the languages have a long written tradition, in others a written form is only now being created.
