[Communications] [Education] CCGA November 7 Workshop - JPG flyer for emailing & posting and Facebook post to come on Friday

[Lorraine Kells]

Hello,

CCGA does not yet have a reliable translator nor translating service. The
nonprofits and academic services  offer translators for legal documents
mostly. Those workshops that offered Spanish versions did so only for their
own workshops.

We could resort to google translation or some web free service but we may
end up offending rather than assisting. Regional dialects make it difficult
to begin with.

So that's it for now, but a serious consideration for discussion when we
are free to meet and such services become affordable.

Lorraine
