We all know the importance of parental involvement in our students' education. But how can we bridge the language gap to ensure every parent can effectively help their child with homework?

That’s where Screencastify’s World Language captions can help!

With Captions in World Languages, viewers can easily translate your content into their preferred language with just a few clicks. This exciting update empowers teachers and admins to offer their audience seamless translation of captions into over 90 languages from English. Additionally, you can effortlessly record your content in any of our supported languages and then translate the captions into English. 

In the US, more than 80% of parents believe that homework is important for learning. Even though 51% of parents reported that students should do their homework on their own, on average, 73% of parents reported helping their child with homework completion.

Many parents might not be fluent in English, but they're still eager to support their children's learning. By providing translated captions alongside our instructional videos or materials, we empower parents to understand the content and assist their kids more effectively.

For example if we have a video tutorial on long division with English captions, we could also include captions in languages spoken by our students' families, like Spanish, Mandarin, or Arabic. In addition translating homework assignments directions and details can also help parents and children understand the purpose of the homework.

With Captions in World Languages, you can create a unified video experience, allowing viewers to easily translate your content into their preferred language with just a few clicks.
