Its questions are intended to foster a participatory design that serves the churches, ministries, and language communities. It is the primary tool for Field Coordinators.

The Rev79 app is a planning, management, collaboration and reporting tool for tracking real-time data of ongoing work with minority language communities. It is becoming the standard tool for SIL projects and for many projects of close partners.
Workday can provide you with history about existing projects.
The Ethnologue is the authoritative resource on language data. You can quickly find what you need for any language—from populations to maps, dialects, usage, and more.
ProgressBible is the authoritative source of information regarding the status of Bible Translation, including: current work being done, remaining needs, and Scripture completed.
The Multilingualism Assessment Tool (MAT) was created to help churches and ministries assess what languages are used to access Scripture, whether all people are sufficiently served by those Scriptures, and whether people need (more) BT materials in the heritage languages. So MAT is specifically created for the language domain of Scripture engagement.
The Scripture Engagement Guide (SE Guide, for short) is a web-based tool (under EMDC pages) for local communities to explore a variety of topics to consider their conditions and needs. Once they have assessed the needs, they can then find the resources in the SE Guide resources section.
The Registry contains a set of language varieties that have been determined to require distinct media presentations. A code in this set represents a unique dialect of a language.
A Guide for Planning the Future of Our Language (Guide, for short) is a tool for local communities to help their members assess how they are currently using the languages that they speak and what that means for the future of their heritage language. The Guide is domain-neutral while MAT (see above) is specifically for the SE domain. The Guide has been expanded to a community process called The Language & Identity Journey (The Journey, for short).
