NWS pauses non-English translations due to contract lapse, residents concerned
The National Weather Service will no longer have translating products for non-primary English speaker, at least for the time being. The NWS has paused non-English translations due to a contract lapse. This comes as the Trump Administration seeks to slash federal agency spending—including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. That had led to an increasing number of employee vacancy rates at NWS offices, which experts say could be a matter of life and death. They say those who don't speak English could miss out on valuable information when severe weather rolls through the area. Something local residents say is vital this time of year. 'It's not a luxury, it is needed. I feel that it would be a catastrophe waiting to happen when you don't have the proper communication,' said Maria Sanchez, Carthage School Board Member. 68 million people in the United States speak a language other than English. According to the latest census data, 42 million only speak Jasper County, 5 percent of households only speak Spanish. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
