Challenge/Local/State

Description

Challenge

Insufficient and inconsistent language access limits participation and understanding. Engagement and program materials—particularly technical content—are often not available in the languages communities speak or are translated inconsistently. As a result, non-English-speaking communities are excluded from meaningful participation, and CBOs are forced to fill gaps by translating materials themselves, increasing burden and inequity.
