The Adolescent Kit and translation

All of the Adolescent Kit guides, tools and activities are available in Arabic, French and Spanish. Jump to the database below to find any guide, tool or activity in one of these languages.

Other languages. UNICEF Country Offices have translated selected materials from the Adolescent Kit into Bahasa Indonesia, Tajik, Myanmar, and Arabic Braille. Jump to the links below to access those materials.

Translate the kit into a new language! The Adolescent Kit is designed and intended for translation. This page includes resources and suggestions for a translation process that is efficient, convenient and produces high quality materials.

If you will be translating the Adolescent Kit into a new language, we suggest the following steps:

  • Identify and select materials for translation. Review this website to identify and select the materials that you will use in your programmes and that you need to translate. Consider the following questions:
    • Will you be using all of the Adolescent Kit materials, or just some specific materials? If you will only be using a few specific materials, you may save some costs by translating only those you plan to use. Conversely, if you may be using additional materials from the Adolescent Kit in a future phase of your programme, it may save time and inconvenience to translate it all at the same time.
    • Who use each of the Adolescent Kit materials you selected for your programmes? What languages do they speak? For example in some contexts, programme coordinators or trainers may be able to use materials that are already English, Arabic, French or Spanish, while facilitators may need them to be available in another locally-spoken language. Conversely, it may be useful to have all materials available in your locally-spoken language to facilitate communication and common practice among all team members.
  • Consider adapting materials before translation. Before you arrange translation you may wish to edit the guides, tools and supplies, adding guidance or information that is relevant for your programmes and contexts.
  • Provide English Word versions of your selected materials to your translators. Use the database below to the English Word documents of each guide, tool or activity you plan to use. In our experience, translators typically prefer to work with raw files in Word format. Each Word document also includes a word count, which may be helpful in calculating translation fees for cost estimates.
  • Use the InDesign (INDD) files to replicate the Adolescent Kit’s design for your newly translated materials. Once the guides, tools or activities have been translated into a new language, use the InDesign files to recreate the layout and design of the original Adolescent Kit materials. We recommend engaging a graphic designer or someone with experience with and access to the programme InDesign to this step.
  • Share translations with us! If you have translated and/or adapted Adolescent Kit materials, please share them with us so we can make them available to others! Please sustain our tradition of making the Adolescent Kit a resource that is available to the public on an open source basis, one that grows and evolves to better reach adolescents around the world. To share materials or updates, please us at adolescentkit@unicef.org
