Successful localization and translation of K-12 assessment tests and educational materials requires simple, direct language and appropriate cultural context. Be sure your organization is compliant with the No Child Left Behind Act when designing language instruction for limited English proficient and immigrant children. School organizations receiving Title III federal funding may receive grants to “implement culturally and linguistically appropriate family education programs or parent outreach and training activities that are designed to assist parents of limited English proficient children to become active participants in the education of their children.”(NCLB Title III, Sec. 3212, Part B)

This requires translation services that are culturally sensitive and accurate. When you choose The Language Center for your education translation services, you’ll have a wider range of programs and grant funds available.

In addition to expanding your range of educational programs, you will also ensure compliance with federal education regulations by choosing K-12 translation services from The Language Center. All K-12 educational organizations receiving Title III funds must “improve instruction programs for limited English proficient children by acquiring and upgrading curricula and related instruction materials.” (NCLB Title III, Sec. 3213, Part A) The Language Center’s localized and translated instructional documents are recognized for their success with diverse students.

In many areas, Spanish translation is the main area of concern. Make sure that you are prepared to effectively communicate with your Spanish-speaking parents and students by having accurate and professionally translated documents. Don’t rely on volunteer efforts! If the translations aren’t accurate and effective in making educational information accessible, you’re not in compliance with federal regulations.

The Language Center Advantage: Our linguists are skilled at translating educational materials ensuring appropriate cultural context and simple language. We also consult with linguists from different countries for our educational translation services to verify that we use common, non-idiomatic terminology for the target language.
