CSAC is pleased to share that nearly all of the state’s COVID-19
guidance is now available in 13 languages on the state’s www.Covid19.ca.gov website. County
Supervisors from around the state strongly advocated for the
translation of critical COVID-19 state guidance, and the state
estimates that 85 percent of the documents are translated at this
time. The state’s goal is to have all COVID-19 guidance
translated by the end of this month.
There are two important steps users must take to access the
state’s COVID-19 documents in a language other than English:
1. Visit the state’s www.covid19.ca.gov site. Once on
the page, note the white “select language” oval in the upper
right corner. That is a drop-down menu that allows the user to
select their language of choice for information on that page.
Select your preferred language by clicking on it in the drop-down
menu. The page will automatically be translated into that
language.
If a user wants to view additional documents, such as state
industry guidance, the user must then click on the orange square
“Menu” button, which is located on the upper right of the screen
to the right of the white “select language” button.
2. The Menu button will provide a menu of the site’s documents
and a search bar in the language previously selected in step #1.
A user may then access all COVID-19 information in their language
of choice from this site menu.
CSAC appreciates the state’s progress on this issue and will
continue to monitor new guidance and information for language
accessibility. Should you have questions, please email Farrah
McDaid Ting at fmcting@counites.org.
