Plain Language Equity

This interest group brings together people who want to explore how plain language can achieve equity through transparency and clear communication AND through translation from one language to another. This group will discuss language equity in writing and translation from a global perspective. The purpose of the group is to raise awareness and build a knowledge base by sharing lessons learned in communicating clearly within and across languages and cultures, share and learn from each other in a respectful and equitable way, and explore the application of plain language, translation, and other principles of equity in communication. Members of the IHLA Plain Language Equity Interest Group will strive to empower each other to advocate for plain language, quality translation and cultural relevance in our work, organizations, countries and regions.
