The easiest way to translate the form is to open it in Chrome, right click and select "Translate to English," then click the three dots, click Choose Another Language, and select the language from the dropdown. The form will be automatically translated. If it is not possible for an applicant to complete the application in English, they should complete it in their language of choice, and we will use Google Translate on our end.
