Many immigrants and resettled refugees speak multiple languages. How can you utilize transworld and translanguage practices to create more inclusive and productive spaces?
Language services are essential for helping refugees and immigrants overcome barriers and build new lives in the U.S. From securing employment and accessing education to navigating healthcare and community services, language access plays a vital role in successful integration.

To enhance digital inclusion in Western Sydney, it is imperative to improve the accessibility of government websites for non-English speakers by developing digital resources in multiple languages. This approach will ensure equitable access to essential public services for culturally and linguistically diverse communities, where over 75% of the population in certain areas speak a language other than English at home. Establishing a standard of language accessibility for all government resources and integrating advanced digital tools, such as AI for translations, can help overcome barriers faced by migrants and refugees. However, continuous efforts are needed to build trust and confidence in these services to ensure they are effectively utilised.
