Website information translation methods
We use a mix of technology and people to create the translations. Some pages are translated automatically using privacy protected Google Gemini, and other technology (Large Language Models). Other pages are checked by human reviewers (for accuracy and tone) or written by professional translators. A banner is shown at the top of website pages when supported translations are available.
Disclaimer
Multnomah County cannot guarantee the accuracy of every automatically translated word and is not liable for any wrong or confusing information resulting from the use of Google’s translation tool.
