Translation of key sign in transition materials

[DanielleThierryUSDSVA]

Veteran and VA stories

As a Veteran or family member with limited English proficiency, I want to be able to read information about the secure sign-in transition in my primary language.

As a VA staff member, I want to have fact sheets about the secure sign-in transition in multiple languages to give to Veterans and their family members as I support them through this transition. For Spanish, I need these fact sheets to link to webpages in Spanish.

As VA, I want to comply with the Veterans and Family Members Information Act by providing fact sheets on the secure sign-in transition in multiple languages.

Content for translation

We need to get this translated content asap. Let's ask State to translate these items for us in this priority order—and ask them to send each item back as soon as it's ready. Some of the fact sheets and webpages have duplicative content.

Noting here that we sent the first two fact sheets listed above to State on 8/9. They said they will be able to translate into all languages except for Chamorro and Samoan.

@moviedosoco Here's a third fact sheet. This is the one that we only had them translate part of so you'll need to add the translation from the web page to this for a complete fact sheet. I'll post that one in the ticket for that specific page. Thanks!
