Earlier this year, NGPF partnered with Canva for Education to design a collection of 30 financial literacy templates for use in the classroom. By using the Google Translate app within Canva, you can quickly translate the designs to more than 100 languages to support multilingual learners. Learn how.

Canva for Education is 100% free for K-12 districts, schools, teachers, and their students. Canva has many apps on their platform, one of which is the Google Translate app. Please note that as a machine translation, Google Translate will likely have some errors, but it is a powerful classroom tool to help multilingual learner students access resources. 

Canva’s platform makes it easy to provide those translations by following these steps:

1. Select a template from the Canva for Education & NGPF collection

2. Click the Customize this template button

3. Locate the Google translate app by scrolling to the bottom of the left section where you see “Translate.” It is also located in the apps section. 

4. Click on Translate and select language. Click the translate button.

5. Canva will generate a translated image.

You can save this template in various ways for future use by clicking the share button in the upper righthand corner.

For ideas on how to use Canva/NGPF templates, see NGPF’s how-to guide. 

Canva for Education is 100% free for K-12 districts, schools, teachers, and their students. Translating up to 500 pages monthly is available with Canva for Education. This is for each user and resets at the beginning of each billing month (not calendar month). 

Translate is available for all templates except Canva docs. See more information about the translate feature in Canva.
