New Website Created to Translate 151st's Court Procedures

Judge Mike Engelhart has created a link on his official court procedures page to enable non-English readers who practice in the 151st to translate the court's procedures into dozens of different languages.

The official court procedures page is located at:  http://www.justex.net/Courts/Civil/CourtSection.aspx?crt=10&sid=40

There is a new link at the top of that page which takes you to THIS PAGE (click) which has the 151st procedures verbatim.  That new page is enabled with a Google Translate tool at the top which has a drop down menu of many different languages.

Rather than stick taxpayers with the bill for translation services for a page to be hosted by the District Courts servers, Judge Engelhart has found a way to create a free separate site that provides excellent translation to just about any language you'd want, at no cost whatsoever.
