National Weather Service Ends English To Spanish Translations For Emergency Warnings
HuffPost
A worker at the NWS told HuffPost that the change could have devastating effects for non-English speakers during critical weather events.
The National Weather Service has quietly ended the use of a language translation tool that gave critical information during extreme weather events to non-English speakers.
The tool, which used artificial intelligence to translate English emergency warnings into other languages, including Spanish, French, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Samoan, was taken down on April 1.
“The translated text product functionality on this site may be interrupted after 3/31/2025. Further details will be provided when available,” a website for the tool now reads.
The tool was part of an approved 2023 Congressional budget.
“This language translation project will improve our service equity to traditionally underserved and vulnerable populations that have limited English proficiency,” Ken Graham, director of the NWS, said at the time. “By providing weather forecasts and warnings in multiple languages, NWS will improve community and individual readiness and resilience as climate change drives more extreme weather events.”
