Plain language texts are written in a clear and unambiguous way to help ensure that readers can access the text’s content without undue effort. The demand for plain language texts in contexts such as government communications, legal agreements, and healthcare is growing as part of a broader social justice movement that seeks to ensure fair access to information and opportunities for all. At present, training in plain language in Canada is offered primarily through continuing education or professional development options. Given the shortcomings of current generative AI tools for text simplification, coupled with the overlap in competences needed for plain language work and translation, there is an opportunity for translator education programs to integrate plain language more fully into their curricula. This chapter introduces the plain language movement in Canada, explains its connections to social justice and to translation, and makes suggestions for ways to incorporate plain language training into translator education.
