To ensure the translations were culturally and linguistically appropriate, terms were translated and reviewed by a multi-dialect team of translators representing four of the main regions of origin of the Hispanic population living in the U.S. Those regions are Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Central America. Future activities under the Program include translating the glossary and the national voter registration form in five Asian languages and the formation of working groups to address the election needs of American Indians and Alaskan natives.
