Rowland District Translators/Interpreters
The RUSD Translator/Interpreters, offers professional services to the schools and departments of the Rowland Unified School District, so families and community have equitable access to information and resources about their children’s education.
We offer two types of services:
- Interpretation (oral interpretation): Simultaneous and consecutive interpretation of RUSD-sponsored meetings is available.
- Translation (translation of written documents): to and from Spanish, Mandarin, and Korean. These services include a library of translated document templates frequently used by schools; an English/Spanish glossary of terms commonly used by RUSD schools; and proofreading of documents translated by other departments or school staff.
Guidelines for Submitting a work order for Interpretation or Translation Services
For Interpretation: Email the applicable person listed above to check for availability at least 15 working days prior to the meeting date. If the Translator is not available, please contact Ana Manzanares for assistance.
For Translation: Submit a work order for translation services by email or through district mail (see attachment) All requests are on a first come, first served basis and allow a 10 day-work week turnaround. However, turnaround times depend on the amount of the text to be translated, complexity of language and current workload. For example, if you have a large text that is required at the beginning of each school year, please submit it to the appropriate translator at the end of the prior school year to ensure you will receive in a timely manner. Please complete the entire form and submit one form for each job and submit via District Mail to the Office of Special Projects/GATE. (PDF at bottom of this page)
Interpreter Equipment: The Special Projects/GATE office has additional interpreter cases for check-out upon request.
