Mersey Vale Primary SchoolGuides
We will add guidance to this page for various aspects of school life.
Translating web pages on the school website
Many of our parents and carers have difficulty with English as it is not their first language. In order to convert the content language our our website pages, (when using anything other than a mobile telephone) you can simply click the small globe at the top right of any page and then select the language of your choice. This then converts any page content (but not linked documents) to this language.
To revert back to English or another language you can click the globe again or click the down arrow that has now appeared on the left side of the page (also at the top).
The translate button does not show on mobile devices as Google translate doesn't currently have a plugin for any mobile website. However, when mobile users initially set up their phones they will be asked to select a language, in their mobile browser settings and can select a language so websites that will be translated.
We hope that this helps parents and carers.
