Case Study: Fayette County Public Schools improves family communication with Lexmark Translation Assistant

Fayette County Public Schools improves communication for 25-30% multilingual students with Lexmark

Fayette County Public Schools, a diverse district with over 90 spoken languages, faced the challenge of meeting federal requirements to communicate with families in their native languages. This was a complex and time-consuming process for their staff. They implemented Lexmark Translation Assistant on a Lexmark multifunction printer to streamline the translation of essential documents like permission slips and newsletters.

The Lexmark solution provided real-time document translation, enabling school staff to instantly translate materials without sending them to a district office. This resulted in faster, more efficient communication that strengthened relationships with the school community. The principal cited it as a "game changer," noting that a professional interpreter found the Lexmark machine translation to be virtually perfect.
