Translate Our Website Greater Manchester Fire Rescue Service

Greater Manchester Fire Rescue Service has published a guide to help residents translate their website into different languages, ensuring emergency information reaches everyone in our diverse communities. The service recognises that clear communication during emergencies can save lives, and language barriers shouldn't prevent anyone from accessing vital safety information.

The translation guide covers all major web browsers-Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox-with simple step-by-step instructions for each. While the service acknowledges these tools won't provide perfect translations, they should give residents enough understanding to grasp emergency procedures, fire safety advice, and contact information when every second counts.

For Chrome users, a simple right-click on any webpage brings up the translation option. Safari users need to navigate through the 'View' menu, while Edge offers translation through both right-click and an address bar drop-down. Firefox automatically detects when a page isn't in your preferred language and offers translation, though manual activation is also available.

The service has provided links to each browser's support pages for more detailed instructions and offers direct contact for residents who need additional help. This initiative reflects Greater Manchester's commitment to serving all communities, regardless of language spoken at home, ensuring everyone can access life-saving information when emergencies strike.
