Beyond Translation: Using Localization to Communicate Among Languages
Our community partners: • Family Support Center• Ogden City• Mount Ogden Junior High
Our community partners:• WSU Counseling & Psychological Services
Center• Habitat for Humanity• Ogden Nature Center• Catholic Community Center
Description of project and implementation in the community:Based on our background knowledge of Spanish and of translation and localizationtechniques, we have assisted community partners with needed translations of importantdocuments that are used in their offices. This has allowed them to reach the largepopulation of Spanish speakers in the community of Ogden.
Relevance of the project and outcomes for the community:“The Family Support Center provides multiple family supports for our local community. We want as many people to be able to access our services as possible. The language barrier is often an issue. By
having documents in Spanish helps us tremendously so that we can serve the clients that do not speak or read English. We don't want them to feel like they can't use the center because of language. Often this is an under served population in our community so this will give them the opportunity to access a resource that they otherwise may not have been able to.” Janeen Jennings, Supervisor at Family
Support Center.“It is important that students provide true informed consent for the Tdap and flu vaccines we
administer to them. Having these forms available in their native language helps ensure that Spanish-speaking students fully understand the process. The Student Health Center strives to encourage students
to take an active role in their health care. Thank you so much for helping us to meet this goal in a culturally and linguistically sensitive way.” Dianna K. Abel, Executive Director of Counseling,
Health, and Wellness

I’ve discovered that the translation process is more complex than it might appear to be at first. It involves more than just knowing the source and target languages. A translator must often research the material that is to be translated and seek to understand how it will be received by the target audience in order to prepare an effective translation. (Forrest Slade)
Translating for the Family Support Center not only helped me to learn about this community partner but it also helped me expand my vocabulary and understand the importance of an
accurate translation. (Dallin Leifson)
Working as a staff at Youth Impact, an after school program, I realized that their application and Parent Handbook was not translated into Spanish. The reason I decided to work as volunteer at my job was because more than 60 percent of our participants are Hispanics. I saw the need and the importance of these documents to be translated into Spanish, so parents can be aware of our policies and procedures. I feel proud of this awesome afterschool program and as a member of YI, I’m happy to say that we re going to have these documents available to our participants parents in the language they understand. (Mirian Maya)
Translating for the WSU Health Center has helped me academically by preparing me to be able to do translations for my employer in the future. It has helped me personally because I feel rewarded knowing that I have done something to help my Hispanic community. (Diana Cedeño)
Translating for the Ogden Nature Center has not only impacted me academically but also has helped me to complete my growth in the community. What I have learned during my semester has given me the knowledge needed to assist the non-English speakers in the Ogden community. (Mónica Meredith)

The skill set needed to translate goes far beyond vocabulary, grammar, and euphemisms. A good translator must have an intimate knowledge of the culture, heritage, and lifestyle of the intended audience. This class and the experiences I've had have helped me appreciate Hispanic cultures and realize the importance of immersion beyond the surface of a language. (Jarron Bolingbroke)

After translating for Mount Ogden Junior High School, I’ve been able appreciate the translating process as it is a complex and important task. Keeping in mind the culture around the organization is an important part of the process that has to do with localization. (Devan Alldredge)
