Plugins, extensions or other browser tools can affect how information is displayed on the internet, including Life Skills GO
Life Skills GO generally allows you to enter a student name or alias in a language appropriate format. This means special characters, such as the apostrophe (') that other applications disallow can be used in Life Skills GO. Some browser extensions, plugins or other tools that you may use to improve your internet experience may adversely affect your Life Skills GO platform experience if you use these characters in student names.
The student information below has been created for illustrative purposes only. Any questions or concerns about your specific Life Skills GO account can be directed to support@lifeskillsgroup.com.au
To demonstrate how plugins can impact on your Life Skills GO experience, we will use the Google Translate Extension in the Google Chrome browser.
Below is a sample class we have created for demonstration purposes. We have highlighted 2 student names we will be using to assess how this extension can affect Life Skills GO

Running a Class Check-in with our demo class we can see below how the page should appear with Google Translate turned off, and how the page may appear with Google Translate turned on.

Google Translate is turned off and our demo class appears as normal.

Google Translate is turned on. Our student names have been translated by this plugin and appear incorrectly.
