Topics:
  • Training
  • Marketing / Outreach

Date: Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Time: 1 pm ET / 12pm CT / 11 am MT/ 10 am PT

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. Please join us and our panel of innovators to learn how the current environment may impact your creation of online LEP tools, how to identify potential hurdles, new advocacy opportunities, and lessons that might make the path for your projects easier.
