1703: Translator at Event and use of Translating apps


60466F
16-Oct-2023

Hello

I have a team that does not speak English. We have a translator lined up for them for when they are interacting with others out side of a match. During a match could the translator be near the team to translate? This would mean they are near the driver box. Also can students use an app on their phone to translate as long as it is in airplane mode? I see the translator their to help the students and adults to be able to communicate. As for student to student communication this would be done using a translation app or white board of some sort.
