Government

We Speak the Languages That Will Help Your Government Organization to Serve

Language support services at the local, state, and federal levels

Our governmental organizations bear the heavy responsibility of collecting, maintaining, and disseminating important information to all citizens at local, state and federal levels. That information must be accurate, timely, and accessible to everyone, regardless of the languages they speak.

We are proud to be a trusted language access provider for governments and government affiliates at all levels. We support these valued government customers by providing a wide range of services covering more than 300 languages and dialects. Our professional linguists handle each project and interaction with care and strictly adhere to our quality control processes and confidentiality requirements.

Our dedicated services include on-site (simultaneous), over-the-phone (OPI), and video remote interpretation, and our team can help you determine which service(s) will best meet your needs. We also offer translation services for government agencies at the local, state, and federal levels to provide timely and accurate translations.

Our professional linguists and committed staff work hard to ensure that your translated content is error-free and ready for publication. Whether you need translation of technical documents, sensitive communications, forms and notices, or are looking to localize your website or eLearning materials, we will provide you with the highest quality translation.

Commonly Asked Government Services Interpretation Questions

Someone with limited English proficiency is an individual whose primary spoken language is not English, and who has a limited ability to read, write, speak, or understand the English language.

In judicial proceedings instituted by the United States that require the appointment of an interpreter, the cost of the court-appointed interpreter will be paid by the United States. These funds from appropriations available to the judiciary. The exception to this is that the Office of the United States Attorney is responsible for securing the services of such interpreters for government witnesses. For a detailed description of which proceedings qualify for appointed interpreters, please refer to sections (a) and (j) of the Court Interpreters Act. When defense counsel needs the services of an interpreter away from the courthouse, they should make individual arrangements to contact, contract and pay the interpreter.
