LEP 201: Tips and challenges in expanding LEP capacity in different technology contexts

  • 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM
  • Central Time (US & Canada)

  • Pro Bono/Legal Services

Please join us for a new LSNTAP/PBN Community Training Series webinar.

The past 3 years has seen a proliferation of online and web-based initiatives addressing the legal needs of those with limited English proficiency using different technologies (web sites, online forms, machine translation, etc). As these initiatives mature and are ready for replication, we are in a position to share how to replicate LEP capacity through technology in various languages.

During this 90 minute webinar, we will share lessons learned and tips for easier adoption. From creating content translation using machine translation tools, to exploring the potential of memory translation never before used by legal non profits, to modifying commonly used tools specifically for this population in API languages, the creation of LEP content still requires additional resources and important considerations before jumping in.
