The Multilingual Consortium is a professional network that supports high-quality translation and interpretation services. Consortium workgroup goals: Develop a county-wide directory of translators by language to identify language translation and interpretation needs across the county. Facilitate communication and networking across districts to support effective and consistent translation and interpretation throughout the county, and gather, develop, and distribute language resources. We encourage you to invite your district’s translators/interpreters to attend Consortium meetings on a monthly basis.
