Summary:  Over 20% of the U.S. population speaks a language other than English. The plethora of information, forms and permissions that schools distribute often present a challenge to these non-native English speakers. Unfamiliarity with the American K-12 system can equally impact the ability of LEP/ELL parents to fully participate in their child’s education. How can schools impart effective communications and keep translation quality high while staying within budget? 

  • How to avoid eight translation traps that decrease the effectiveness of your multilingual communications
  • Tips for improving quality – including literacy and cultural nuance for your parent population
