Official website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means it's official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Language Access Management Program

    Pennsylvania government works best when everyone can get important information from Commonwealth agencies in a language they understand. The Language Access Management Program (LAMP) empowers state agencies to deliver high quality language access services to Pennsylvanians by building and sharing capacity, tools, and best practices.

    Why It Matters

    LAMP helps:

    • Connect people to Commonwealth job opportunities, critical information on public safety, and other vital government services
    • Support small businesses and entrepreneurs by making it easier for them to get government information and services they need
    • Build stronger communities by making government information accessible to all 

    What We Do

    LAMP helps state agencies make sure Pennsylvanians can:

    • Get key information in multiple languages
    • Find translated materials in their communities and on state websites
    • Receive effective services from staff trained to work with high-quality, professional language services

    How We’re Taking Action

    We are:

    • Supporting Commonwealth service providers in offering access to language resources to translate materials like brochures, flyers, and website content 
    • Training staff across agencies
    • Leveraging emerging technology responsibly to improve translation speed and accuracy
