Requestor Work Location*: West Lake Junior High
Requestor Title*: Kelli Hay
Website Name*: Yandex Translate
Website Description*: Yandex translate allows for translation of documents and images from English into 105 different languages. It looks like another version of Google Translate (translate.google.com) that was deactivated for students.
URL (Required)*: https://translate.yandex.com/
Purpose / Use / Notes*: The purpose is to provide MLL students, specifically those in level 1 and level 2, an option for translating documents and images from English into another language in order to understand and complete assignments in all of their classes. Without access to a website or program like this, MLL students are struggling to find ways to translate materials on their own and also complete assignments.
