Morris County Surrogate Heather J. Darling is proud to announce the launch of a new multilingual feature on the Morris County Surrogate's Court website, allowing residents to instantly translate the entire site into a wide range of languages with a single click. By selecting from the easy-to-use dropdown menu located at the top right of every page, visitors can now navigate the site in languages including Spanish, Hindi, French, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Hebrew, Gujarati, Russian, Greek and many more. This enhancement ensures that almost every Morris County resident, regardless of their primary language, can easily access critical information about probate, guardianship, and estate administration services offered by the Surrogate's Court.
The feature comes on the heels of Surrogate Darling's recent introduction of "Hannah," the office's groundbreaking AI-powered Virtual Assistant, which also provides support to residents in multiple languages. In addition, the Morris County Surrogate’s Court website includes an AI Chat Button that can read and respond in multiple languages, further expanding accessibility and real-time assistance for residents. These translation capabilities reflect Surrogate Darling's continued commitment to modernizing government services and breaking down barriers that have historically prevented residents from fully engaging with the Morris County Surrogate's Court.
