Path: System Settings > Open Enrollment Setup > Portal Translations
The Open Enrollment Portal Translations tool allows users to provide translated text or additional clarification for options that display on the Open Enrollment site. When parents/guardians log into the Open Enrollment site, they are asked to select a language. That selection determines the text that displays while they move through the enrollment panels. Buttons, labels, questions, and instructions can display in a specific language based on the active languages created in the Language Groups tool and the parents'/guardians' selected language.
Users can modify the wording of pop-ups and validation messages as needed. Districts are responsible for entering the translation for each visible field and instructional content. This is not provided by Infinite Campus.
Additional translation text can be entered in the Open Enrollment Portal Translations tool to translate content displayed in drop-lists for States, Address Prefixes, etc.
To access this tool, users must also have tool rights to the Language Groups tool.
