Language access without legal drift.
U.S. citizenship law should be understandable outside specialist English. CitizenApproved is building language access carefully: plain explanations, preserved English legal terms, explicit dates and authority labels, and direct exits to official government material.
Why these languages first
USCIS's Language Access Plan identifies a citizenship-outreach set that includes English plus 12 non-English languages. CitizenApproved uses that government-defined set to prioritize language work rather than inventing a popularity ranking.
USCIS Language Access PlanWhat we will not pretend
A machine-translated copy of every page would look comprehensive while creating a large legal-maintenance surface. Until a language can be reviewed and maintained at the same standard as the English source material, we route readers to official multilingual government resources instead.
USCIS Multilingual Resource CenterCitizenship language routes
Spanish has a maintained CitizenApproved orientation page because strong current USCIS and USAGov Spanish resources exist. The other priority languages currently route directly to USCIS multilingual material while we avoid publishing unreviewed legal translations.

Open official resourcesTranslation rules for a legal-information site
The objective is comprehension without changing the legal category underneath the words.
Keep the controlling English legal term
Translate the explanation, but preserve terms such as continuous residence, physical presence, good moral character, acquisition, and derivation beside the translation.
Keep dates and legal status visible
A translated page should still say whether something is current law, an effective regulation, agency policy, a court decision, a proposal, or historical law.
End at the official source
CitizenApproved language pages are orientation. Filing should end at the current USCIS, State Department, DOJ/EOIR, statute, regulation, or court source.
Do not translate answers for the reader
We should explain questions and terminology, not manufacture responses to forms, interviews, sworn statements, or legal declarations.
Need the official agency instead?
The Official Help router identifies whether USCIS, the Department of State, DOJ/EOIR, a statute, a regulation, or a court is the right source for the question.
