This page has translation options to support accessibility for diverse audiences. This includes automated translations, which may not always be accurate. Some words and phrases may lose meaning or be interpreted differently when translated, especially colloquialisms, idioms, slang, and culturally specific references.
For critical information, we recommend referring to the English version or getting help from a native speaker or professional interpreter.
Listen to our website in your language
Every page of our website includes a tool called ReadSpeaker.
It lets you:
- listen to the text being read out loud (English)
- translate the text into one of 29 languages
- hear the translated text read out to you.
To use the translation option:
- Highlight the text you want to translate.
- When text is highlighted, a pop-up menu will appear. Select the Translate button.
- Select a language by choosing one from the list or using the search box.
- A pop-up window will open. Select the Play button at the top of the window to hear the text read out to you in that language.
