It usually takes two or three days to complete a translation, sometimes more depending on the length of the document and the language(s) into which it needs to be translated.
We translate:
- School and district forms that parents need to complete, read, respond to, etc.
- Important school and district information through letters, newsletters, announcements, etc.
- School and district handbooks for parents.
- Any other type of documents that district or school personnel consider essential and vital for parents.
We DO NOT translate:
- Copyrighted material
- Documents or portions of documents obtained from magazines, websites, newspapers or other organizations
- Instructional materials (tests, homework, units of study, quizzes, etc.) for students or classroom use
Helpful hints when requesting a translation
- DOCUMENTS SHOULD BE IN MICROSOFT WORD OR PUBLISHER. OTHER PROGRAMS MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED.
- Providing a document that is clear and has been proofread prior to submission will facilitate the job of the translator. If there are ambiguities or errors, our office will contact you for clarification which may delay the translation.
- Whenever possible avoid the use of technical vocabulary and acronyms that may not be understood by people outside the educational field or who may not be familiar with the American educational system.
- Submit ONLY FINAL DOCUMENTS. We will not translate drafts.
- Avoid creating newsletters using "text boxes" since they frequently move, hide or overlap thus preventing some of the text to be visible.
- Attach the document instead of pasting it on the message.
