Think about the community in which you serve. National PTA has a number of tools available on its website that are very useful in bridging the language gap. Accompanying this video is a tip sheet on increasing involvement in Hispanic communities. There are other resources available that can be used to assist in further strengthening the cultural diversity of your unit. The Internet is one of the newest venues to explore when it comes to translating material.
Some websites offer free translation services.
This service will translate one web page or up to five pages of text. This equals approximately 1,300 words in text format. This service uses machine translation, which means that it doesn't just translate text word by word, but actually analyzes sentences based on the rules of the language. It then translates the words and phrases in context of the original document. Machine translation is good for helping the reader understand the writer's overall intent, not just word definitions.
