Please attempt to avoid the following compositions when allowing machine translation for text or voice:

Notes:
The district can elect to append translated emails with English content. If this was not an option during implementation, the District Admin can send a request to support@signalkit.com.
If a particular language is not supported or if the machine translation is unsatisfactory, districts can elect to send English versions for select languages instead of relying on machine-translation. Announcement creators will still have the opportunity to record, share or update human translations, but it will default to English unless overridden by the message creator. If this was not an option during implementation, the District Admin can send a request to support@signalkit.com.
