Use this page to turn on the translation tool for multiple students.
Students can use the tool to translate any on-screen HTML text, including third-party websites and our own instructional and assessment content. While they won’t be able to translate the audio files, they can translate any text on the screen including eNotes, online content links, close reading passages, and transcripts. If students translate text into Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, or Arabic, they can also hear the translation read aloud in that language, or in English.
The World Languages courses are the only courses that cannot be translated using our tool, as this would largely reduce the efficacy of language learning courses.
