The translations will be in Chinese, Samoan, Tagalog, Korean, Thai and Vietnamese.
At a forum preceding the Aug. 31 consumer fair, officials will speak, including Phoebe Yang, a senior advisor to the FCC chairman; Rachelle Chong, special counsel for California Chief Information Officer Teri Takai; and Lester Wong, senior advisor to the California Public Utility Commission president.
