Translation and Interpreting Services You Can Trust

As the United States and especially California become more diverse, the number of residents with limited proficiency in English is growing. For these people to access important services and fully participate in American life, language access services are essential, and city agencies are often legally required to offer these services. Creating an effective language access plan leads to better and more efficient use of your city's resources than reacting to needs as they appear.

Data from a 2020 report from the U.S. Census Bureau is a clear illustration of the United States' growing diversity. As the U.S. becomes more diverse and more multiracial than it's ever been, city officials need to implement language services such as language access, interpreting, translation, and other services aimed at diversity for all the newly growing demographic groups in their area.

To translate is to transfer or turn from one set of symbols into another. But what is translation's history? Even though the history of translation is a topic that historians and scholars have long debated, it's universally agreed that translation dates way back before the Bible. Since the earliest days of human interaction, translation has continued to develop, now more than ever, allowing cross-cultural interactions, trade, globalization of the economy, and sharing of knowledge over time. With the help of translation, the world has become more of a melting pot. This in turn also makes translation a more necessary service, spanning different theories, mediums, and civilizations. We'll take you through a fascinating account of the history of translation from antiquity to present-day.
