Translation Resources
The Office of Health Promotion supports agencies and community
organizations in their effort to be culturally competent in two
primary ways:
-
Leading the Department of Health Interpretation and Translation
Workgroup offering guidance on best practices for translated
materials.
-
Maintaining translated Department of Health publications on the
Health Education Resource
Exchange (H.E.R.E.).
Following is
a list of helpful websites and guides on translation practices. If you
are an employee of the Department of Health you can access the internal
Interpretation and
Translation Work Group webpage. For more information on translation
resources, contact Don Martin.
