English Language Development (EDL)
Summer 2022 Update
Translation Library Updates
The new translation library on the ELD Portal has been operational since June 1. As a reminder, this library of translated forms and informational documents for use in communicating with parents is replacing the service provided under the state contract with TransAct, which will end on June 30th.
IMPORTANT – You may not continue to use any TransAct forms after June 30th. This includes forms that you downloaded and saved locally prior to June 30th. If a form contains a TransAct copyright notice, it is the property of TransAct and may not be used without permission.
Updates- NEW Library
- Over the coming months, PDE will be focusing on ensuring that all needed documents are present in the new library.
- Once PDE is reasonably satisfied that all forms previously available on TransAct and any new forms that can be provided by the state have been created, PDE will begin adding new languages to existing forms as the budget allows.
