I opened a batch of Missouri records to be indexed but the record was in Spanish, a language I know by sight but am not fluent enough to accurately index. Is there a way to report this on the indexing document? Thank you.

    I do not think there is a way to report it. The project instructions should tell you if there are multiple languages for these records followed by return any batch you do not feel comfortable indexing or do not know the language or comfortable interpreting.

    Even if there are no instructions concerning this I would return the batch. If this same batch is returned multiple times, I've heard, it gets flagged for review to see why it's being returned.

    Thank you for the reply. I did return the batch but was hoping for a comment section to alert them that the record was in Spanish, which was not an option. Glad to know that it might be flagged with multiple returns.
