While all children have the right to be given equal educational opportunity regardless of their race, ethnic background, religion, sex, social or legal status, many coming from non-English-speaking homes end up in an academic dilemma, lacking parental support and involvement due to language barriers.
We want to ensure that every student is getting a fair chance at education:

Technology is great! Just not for translation.
Translation is an essential tool for communication between schools and non-English speaking parents in your community. In order to facilitate communication in diverse school districts, a very common way to translate a document is to use an online machine translator. However, machine translators are NOT accurate and yield unacceptable results.
Translation is a complex process in which translators have to take several things into consideration. Unlike human translation, online translation tools convert a source text into the target language word for word.
Keeping the original meaning of the message is essential when translating.
A high quality translation should sound natural and fluent, this is only possible through the services of an experienced human translator. Translators must take many elements into account such as sentence structure, contextual or cultural references, slang, expressions, specialized terms and so on.
Machine VS Human:
Machine translation may be the fastest and most cost-effective option when translating a document, but in most cases they are inaccurate, confusing and simply not an acceptable method of communicating your message.
Human translation is the ONLY option to ensure a perfect understanding and translation of the source text.
Even for districts with bilingual staff members, translations can be very time consuming and these individuals are often overloaded with translation requests in addition to their primary responsibilties.
