We have been using the Language Line
service (through a city-wide contract – we are a city agency) since the
beginning of this year. We have been very pleased with the service.
It’s quick, easy for staff and very cost-effective. While using a
telephone translation service does not substitute for having
multi-lingual, culturally competent staff, it is a step in the right direction
and enables our agency to provide needed services to our limited-English
customers.
FYI – Language Line recently merged
with the AIRS-contracted agency, Tele-Interpreters, and that has resulted in a
decrease in the AIRS-contracted per minute rate. See the AIRS link for
more information.
