Audience: Teachers
Teachers have the ability to translate Activities into over 100 languages. Seesaw’s built-in translation uses AI to provide quick translations, while also allowing teachers to adjust activities as needed. This supports multilingual learners, dual-language classrooms, and language instruction, all without having to recreate activities or lose the original teaching intent.
This feature is included with AI subscription packages.
Activity translation overview
Teachers can translate entire activities at once, or translate only specific text (such as instructions) while keeping the rest of the content in the primary language of instruction.
Translations apply only to text elements within an activity. Audio and video content are not translated.
How to translate an entire Activity
- From My Library or Explore Libraries, select an Activity.
-
In the lower right corner, tap Translate.
- Select a language from the dropdown menu and tap Save.
-
If there is audio in the original Activity, teachers have the option to choose either:
- keep audio (audio is not translated)
- remove audio
- Saving creates a translated copy of the original Activity.
