K-12 Educational Translation Services

Empowering Education with Professional Translators

Nothing should stand in the way of providing a child with education—least of all, language barriers. Today’s diverse world and multilingual communities make providing educational services in multiple languages essential. Effective communication with parents and children who speak a language other than English is made possible through professional translation services from JR Language.

Investing in translation services is an investment in your community, creating an inclusive and equitable environment for everyone to feel welcomed and learn effectively. JR Language gives you the tools to provide equal access to education and improve lines of communication for every member of your school. Translating academic documents, providing interpreters for parent-teacher meetings, and creating multilingual educational videos support the success of every student, which in turn creates a stronger community.

Why Language Access Matters: Benefits of Educational Translation

Effective communication is impossible if you cannot bridge language barriers. Families with limited English proficiency deserve to feel included and welcomed as those who speak English as a first language. Investing in educational translation services for your school districts strengthens your community in several ways:

All parents can stay informed about their child's school policies, notices, updates, and urgent information.
Students who access learning materials in their native language can better comprehend and understand this information.
Teachers can communicate accurately and respectfully with parents during important meetings.

Creating language access leads to successful educational outcomes for the students and empowers families. It fosters a sense of trust within your school and community.

Projects You Can Tackle with Translation

Services Translate Academic Records, Policies, and Reports

Easily and quickly translate key documents, including student transcripts, academic records, school policies, and updates, to ensure parents and guardians have the information they need about their child’s education. Academic translation services are also vital for specialized programs like Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) which often contain detailed documentation and uncommon terms. Translating these documents ensures that every student with special needs receives the proper support and that every parent has the necessary information.

Facilitate Communication with Real-Time Interpretation

Improve communication with real-time professional interpreters across language barriers for events like parent-teacher conferences in high schools, special education meetings, middle school events, and extracurricular activities. Interpretation so everyone is on the same page and can be heard regardless of language. Customize your interpreter services to your school district’s on-site or remote needs via phone and video calls.
