Translation services for educational institutions involve translating academic materials, such as Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), textbooks, curriculums, and other educational resources. ETS was originally formed as a translation agency to serve educational institutions, specifically K-12 public schools, before growing into the full-service agency it is today. Having completed over 30,000 projects in this field, we are the preferred vendor to dozens of public schools throughout the US. We understand the importance of accurately communicating with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students and families.
Educational institutions may have students who speak different languages at home. Translations can help ensure that these students have access to academic materials in their native language. This can be particularly important for students who are learning a new language and may struggle to understand complex academic materials in their non-native language.
Educational institutions may offer study abroad programs for students, and translations can help ensure that these students have access to academic materials in a language that is familiar to them.
Translations can help educational institutions expand their reach to students and educators in other countries, allowing them to share their knowledge and resources with a global audience.
In some cases, educational institutions, such as public schools, are required by law to provide translations of academic materials in certain languages, particularly for LEP students.
