The State of California has recently adopted a set of standards for translation and interpretation services as part of its Language Assistance Program. Our company is compliant with SB 853, which addresses language access issues for the LEP (Limited-English-Proficiency) communities. Pursuant to the bill, by January1, 2009, every health plan must have established and implemented a Language Assistance Program in compliance with California Requirements. This allows millions of Californians with limited or no English speaking ability to have access to equal healthcare treatment.
We provide both Consecutive and Simultaneous Interpreting

Consecutive Interpreting
In consecutive interpreting, the speaker and interpreter take turns. First the speaker gives a statement in the source language for up to 15 minutes. While the speaker speaks, the interpreter takes notes. When the speaker pauses or finishes speaking, the interpreter delivers the speech in the target language. It is important that the interpreter uses only as much time as the speaker. After the interpreter finishes his part, the speaker then resumes his speech.
Ideal for:

Simultaneous Interpreting
Ideal for Conferences.
Our interpreters have the expertise in your specific area of subject matter.

We make sure our interpreters are carefully screened, certified and trained in industry requirements. Each interpreter has the knowledge and experience to accurately convey complex subject matter from English into another language. They must be able to flawlessly render precise communication in both the source language and English. .As cultural issues play a significant role, the standards for choosing an on-site interpreter must include more than just fluency in another language. They’re not simply providing word-for-word interpretation; they’re ensuring meanings come across loud and clear.
