Yes. Preserve the meaning of status and work-permission information and verify the actual documentation for each person. A translated description does not grant permission.
Keep the legal distinctions intact
Qualifying L spouses are employment authorized incident to status with appropriate documentation. Children do not gain work permission solely through L dependent status. Do not translate the family’s general eligibility as if every activity were already authorized.
Confirm the spouse’s qualifying status before relying on work authorization.
Do not assume that working for the foreign affiliate supplies US permission when services are actually performed in the United States.
A proposed assignment or temporary coverage request does not itself establish that status. A civil-status document translated by someone unfamiliar with immigration terminology can quietly swap a precise legal term for a looser everyday equivalent, and that kind of drift matters more here than in ordinary correspondence. Ask whichever translator handles a marriage or birth record to work from a fixed glossary listing the exact English and French terms the case already uses for spouse, dependent child, and employment authorization, rather than choosing fresh wording each time a new document arrives. Compare a newly translated document against earlier filings for the same family member before submitting it, since an inconsistent term across two documents can prompt a reviewer to ask which version is accurate. Keep the glossary itself in the file, updated whenever a term changes, so a translator working on a later document for the same household starts from the same reference rather than reconstructing it from memory.
