About Government Translation

Public services are those offered by the government to its citizens and paid for by taxpayer dollars, which, by nature, deals extensively with foreign and international affairs and requires a variety of multilingual solutions to get the job done. When a significant number of the citizenry does not speak the national language, it is incumbent upon government agencies to offer translation services. As the number of limited-English-proficient (LEP) speakers in the United States keeps growing, the need for translation services for U.S. government agencies is also on the rise.

In fact, we can even see government translators as essential public workers, since the government is required by law to communicate with the citizens it serves. Having reliable written translation services, as well as 24/7 phone interpretation services, ensures that government agencies can offer appropriate public service resources and utilizing a reliable translation company saves taxpayers time and money.

Target Language Translation Services has been a trusted language services provider for both the public and the private sector. We’ve been providing translators and interpreters to government agencies for more than 10 years and our clients say our professionalism is unmatched. In this article, we discuss the why, the need, the process, and the impact of strong translation services for government agencies.

Why do we need government translation?

Imagine the situation in which you go to a foreign country and try to comply with all the rules and regulations when you don’t speak the same language as the public servants working in that department. Or imagine having a question about your Social Security check and not being able to communicate with the operator on the other end of the line when you call the office. These public services must be accessible to all. Linguistic diversity makes translation services for government agencies a critical component in overcoming language barriers that can have a negative impact on public service. Therefore, the bottomline is to improve communication for limited-English and non-English speakers leads to improved delivery of public services and helps government agencies build trust within the communities they serve. Government agencies can and must do better for the general public.

Skilled, specialized translators can help government agencies to overcome language and cultural barriers to make sure effective communication is taking place.

At Target Language Translation Services, we have translators and interpreters with extensive experience in multiple subject areas requiring government translation services at the Federal, State, County, and Municipal levels.
