December 4, 2024 PD Registry Now Offering Spanish, Somali Translation Pennsylvania’s Professional Development (PD) Registry is now offering translations in Spanish and Somali. Learn More To translate language on the website into Spanish or Somali, users can click on the dropdown menu beside their user’s name when they log in. When the user clicks on one of these languages, the PD Registry will translate to this language. Not everything on the site will translate immediately due to the fact that AI would have to learn to translate it. The more users click on different areas of the site in a different language, the faster it will learn to translate. About the PD Registry The PD Registry is a technology system that functions as a workforce registry and increases the number of high-quality early childhood education programs by helping to develop and track a knowledgeable and skilled early childhood workforce. The registry tracks an individual’s professional achievements and provides important data about the early childhood workforce to help raise the status and compensation for early childhood educators. Any questions about the new translation services should email the PD Registry Help Desk at registry@pakeys.org.
