Google Translate

Google Translate will be useful to translate library information brochures and the library website for some of our customers. The local TAFE brings students from their English as a Second Language (ESL) classes to the public library to visit. They are given a tour and shown the library's adult learning collection and are encouraged to join the library. It will be useful to be able to give the customer a copy of the library information brochure in their native language so they have a better understanding of the borrowing guidelines. The list of languages in Google Translate covers most of the migrant groups in our area, but only includes a couple of the African languages. There are a number of Sudanese migrants joining our library and it would be useful to be able to translate into their language.
