Language Support for Government

Bringing Languages Together

 

Language Services in Government

Our world is growing more and more interconnected, with cultures and languages flowing across borders. It is important that government officials are able to convey their messages to all those they represent and to provide equal language access for consumers. We provide accurate translation and interpretation services so that agencies can ensure that their constituents are kept up-to-date and get the chance to hear what they have to say.

We have translators and interpreters experienced in government settings with the cultural context necessary to provide reliable translations and interpretations.

Equal language access, regardless the language.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is your turnaround time?
Our turnaround time depends on the length and language of the document in question, but we can occasionally provide emergency translation in as little as 24 hours.
Are your translators and interpreters Washington certified?

Yes, we can provide certified translations and certified interpreters although it is important to recognize that not all situations require certification.

We have interpreters with Court and Administrative Certification, Federal Court Certification, and Medical Certification. Certification is not available for many rare languages and therefore not required
