Language Support for Spanish-Speaking Students

If you're working with students who are more comfortable in Spanish, there are a few easy ways to make Hello World CS activities more accessible. Below are helpful tips to translate materials and adjust platform settings.

🧩 1. Use the Google Translate Browser Extension

Adding the Google Translate extension to a student’s browser will allow them to translate entire web pages, including lesson directions, into Spanish.

🔹 Note: While the extension translates most of the page, text embedded in GIFs and images will not be translated.

‍

📄 2. Translate Slides & PDFs

If your lesson includes PDF handouts or Google Slides, you can upload these documents to Google Translate or copy/paste the content into translate.google.com to provide a Spanish version.

This is helpful for students who prefer working with printed or offline instructions.

‍

🌐 3. Change the Language in Delightex

If students are using Delightex for their project, they can change the platform’s default language:

1. Log into Delightex (formerly CoSpaces).
2. Click on your profile icon (top right corner).
3. Select Settings.
4. In the Language dropdown, select Español.

This will translate the platform interface and menus to Spanish.
