The Church of the Brethren website offers instant translation into 15 languages. Here are instructions to access those languages:
At www.brethren.org, look for the small translation box near the top right.
Click the box to see a menu of options. Choose your preferred language.
All web pages are translated; documents and text on images are not translated. Translated pages have a two-letter code in the URL (web page address). For Spanish, for instance, this is /es/. For Haitian Kreyol, it is /ht/.
Once you know the two-letter code for your preferred language, you can insert it into the URL for any page on the Church of the Brethren website by typing it in immediately after this text – www.brethren.org – and adding a forward slash before and after the two letters for the language you choose. For instance, the Office of Ministry in Spanish is https://www.brethren.org/es/ministryoffice/ and in Haitian Kreyol is https://www.brethren.org/ht/ministryoffice/
When going to a page on www.brethren.org, the translation box often will be found at the top left or top right. Following are two examples.
On a mobile device (cell phone), access the translation box by going to the www.brethren.org home page and clicking the symbol with three lines at the top (often called a “hamburger menu”) to see navigation, including the translation option.
When viewing the Church of the Brethren website on a mobile device (cell phone), on internal pages the translation box often will be floating near the top.
If you observe a very poor translation, please send the information to cobweb@brethren.org, with the URL for that webpage and very specific instructions about what needs to change.
