Depending on your account settings, Communicate’s translation feature allows you to translate English email, phone, and text messages into over 100 languages. Use this list as a guide to see which languages are available for each message type.
Note: In addition to your district’s account settings, translation availability will also depend on which communications platforms (Twilio or Syniverse) and short code your district is using.
Translation Support List
SMS text messaging (a free feature) is not active by default on your SchoolMessenger Communicate account and requires special setup. Ensure you're using the correct short code by checking with Support.
