Our team navigated diverse challenges and triumphs, weaving a tapestry of language services that echoed our commitment to precision, inclusivity, and unparalleled professionalism.

Governmental and Legal Heights

In September, American Language Services elevated its presence in governmental and legal language services. Our unwavering dedication to accuracy and confidentiality persisted as we facilitated seamless communication between linguistic communities and government agencies. Our team collaborated with esteemed organizations in the legal and governmental sectors across various languages such as Spanish, Croatian, Italian, French, German, Chinese, Portuguese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese. From courtrooms to immigration proceedings, our interpreters and translators played a pivotal role in bridging language gaps, ensuring the smooth flow of vital information in these critical environments.

Educational Empowerment Continued

Our partnerships with major universities across the United States deepened, fostering an environment where students and faculty thrived in an inclusive setting.

With a vast array of languages at our disposal, our linguistic experts ensured that educational materials, curriculum, and communication were consistently delivered with precision, on time, and of the highest quality. We had a high volume of Arabic and Spanish projects within the educational sector and managed to translate 300,000 source words into the target language within a short turnaround time.

American Sign Language (ASL) Appreciation

September held a special significance as we continued celebrating the rich world of American Sign Language (ASL). As our most requested language, ASL again took the spotlight, serving as a bridge between Deaf and hearing communities. Our ASL interpreters, well-versed in language and Deaf culture, facilitated communication in diverse settings, from medical appointments to educational institutions and corporate boardrooms. This month, we reiterated our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that the Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities enjoyed equal access to information and services.

In the dynamic landscape of healthcare, precise communication is paramount. American Language Services proudly supported medical professionals and patients in September through accurate medical translations. With expertise in languages such as German, Swedish, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Albanian, Japanese, and Arabic, our translations guarantee flawless communication of medical documents, prescriptions, and research findings. Our commitment extended to medical device translations, ensuring healthcare innovations confidently reached global markets.

A Symphony of Voice in Transcription and Voice-over
