Language Access Plan

According to the CAVA Parent Student Handbook, California Virtual Academy provides families with free language assistance services concerning information about school programs and activities. All parents and guardians of CAVA students may request free language translation services at any time. Parents and guardians may request information about school programs and activities in a language they can understand.

Google Translate translates into over 20 different languages without altering the formatting on web pages. Once the extension is downloaded it only takes one quick step to view the entire page in another language. From the Google Chrome browser, go to the Chrome store and download the Google Translate Extension.

Need Help with Google Translate in Any Language?

Here is a Google Translate information link. At the bottom of the webpage, the language for the site can be changed to the primary language in the dropdown menu next to the Help button.

Here is a short video from Common Sense Media to show how to use the app in real time: https://youtu.be/XaBrwzPQbhM?feature=shared. You can translate it by setting the Closed Captioning into their primary language (Auto Translate You Tube Video into Your Language).

Steps to Use on Your Phone (iOS or Android):

1. Open the Google Translate app.

2. Select the languages you want to use (top left and right).

3. Tap the Conversation icon (two microphones).

4. Speak into the phone and Google will translate both ways automatically.

iPhones now come with a built-in Translate app that works very much like Conversation Mode in Google Translate.

Steps to Use:

1. Search “Translate” in your iPhone and open the app (no need to download).

2. Select the languages you want to use.

3. Tap the Conversation button at the bottom of the screen.

4. At the top right, tap the three dots and enable the following options:

   • Play Translations

   • Auto Translate

   • Detect Language

5. Begin speaking—your phone will automatically translate both ways in real time.
