Translation in Mote for iOS is built into every reader rather than bolted on. A student opens any item in their library, chooses their language, and reads the content translated and hears it spoken back to them.
Why it matters:
Lets English Learners (English Language Learners) reach grade-level content while their English is still developing
Reading and hearing the translation together supports listening comprehension alongside reading
Works on the student's own device, so they reach for it themselves rather than waiting for support
Helps families engage with school material in the language they speak at home
MTSS:
Tier 1: Language access built into every reader for all students
Tier 2/3: Targeted language support for newcomer and emergent bilingual students
UDL Principles:
Multiple means of representation: content offered in the student's own language
Try it yourself
Open an item from your library.
Choose your language from the reader's translation control.
Read the translated text, or tap play to hear it spoken.
