For Spanish-language & dual-language classrooms

The entire contest in Spanish — not just the buttons

Switch the language once and the whole thing follows: the teacher interface, the scoring feedback written back to students, the certificates, the award pages, and the emails that reach families. Bilingual and dual-language classrooms can run either side at will.

What makes this hard today

Most tools translate the menu and stop

You change the language, then the certificate prints in English and the parent email arrives in English. Here the feedback the computer writes is in Spanish because your account is in Spanish.

Families cannot read the award page you send home

The whole point of a shareable award is that it gets shared. Award pages and family emails follow the same language setting.

Dual-language teachers run two systems

One roster, one contest engine, either language. Toggle per account, not per platform.

Heritage and newcomer students get graded, never celebrated

A poetry, art, or writing contest is where a student who is still building English can win outright — in the language they think in.

How it works with MeritBoard

  1. 1

    Set your account language to Español

    One toggle in the footer or your account settings. The interface and every generated document follow.

  2. 2

    Run any contest type

    Poetry, art, photography, creative and persuasive writing, speech, questions — all of them, in Spanish.

  3. 3

    The computer writes feedback in Spanish

    Because your account is set to Spanish, the rationale each student reads is written in natural, parent-friendly Spanish.

  4. 4

    Certificates and family emails go out in Spanish

    What reaches the refrigerator door is in the language the family reads.

Before you start

Is this machine-translated?

The interface is a maintained Spanish dictionary, not a live translation layer, and student feedback is written in Spanish rather than translated after the fact.

Can my class switch back to English?

Anytime, per account. Dual-language classrooms flip between them without losing rosters, contests, or results.

Is student work used to train AI models?

Never. Entries are sent to our providers only to score that contest and are never used to train or improve any model.

What does it cost?

The free plan covers 30 students and two contests a month, in either language.
