The City of Hillsboro is seeking a small group of community members who speak and represent three of our city's safe harbor languages—Hindi, Vietnamese, and Chinese—to help improve the city's Style Guide for working with translation and interpretation service vendors.
The English version of the guide will be translated into Hindi, Chinese, and Vietnamese for two purposes: first, to create a unified voice across the small translation and interpretation projects conducted by city staff; and second, to verify that the guide uses language and terminology that makes sense to Hindi, Chinese, and Vietnamese speakers. The group will help ensure the style guide maintains a reading level accessible to all of our LEP (Limited English Proficient) community members.
A stipend will be offered to the selected participants.
Those interested may contact Eunice Makinde, DEI Director of the City of Hillsboro at:
