Language Justice and Plain Language
Our community members have the right to communicate and understand information in the language and method most comfortable for them.
Writing in plain language is an important part of language justice. When we use plain language principles to create and format our content, we make our information easier to understand. Using plain language also improves translation accuracy when we translate materials from English to other languages.
This guide outlines how to use plain language when you create print and digital content. Practicing plain language best practices will help make Cambridge’s programs, services, and resources more accessible to everyone in our diverse and vibrant community.
