SAN DIEGO, February 19, 2026 — As Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools gain popularity in document translation, legal and immigration professionals are warning of the growing risk that automated translations are being used for high stakes filings where even minor errors can lead to costly delays, rejected applications, or legal consequences.

In response to the rising demand for accountable certified human translation, Interpreters Unlimited (IU), a national language service provider, is doubling down on humans. IU has just launched Certified Translation by Interpreters Unlimited™, a secure online portal, developed in partnership with AcudocX, designed to streamline access to legally accepted document translation services across the United States.

Through the platform, individuals and organizations can securely upload files, receive clear rapid pricing and turnaround details, approve projects, and track progress from start to finish entirely online. The service is designed primarily for individuals who need translations for immigration paperwork, birth and marriage certificates, asylum materials, medical records, academic transcripts, and legal filings. It also supports professionals working in healthcare, law, education, government, and corporate environments.

While AI based translation tools offer speed and convenience, they can not provide certification, legal accountability, or guaranteed acceptance by courts and federal agencies such as U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Translations handled through Certified Translation by Interpreters Unlimited™ do just that, meeting strict quality standards and including certified documentation that is accepted by courts, government agencies, school systems, and other official entities.

Immigration attorneys and legal aid organizations have increasingly reported cases where applicants submitted documents translated through automated tools, only to see their filings delayed or rejected because of critical errors. In several documented instances, mistranslated dates, locations, and medical histories triggered Requests for Evidence (RFEs) or denials, forcing families to restart the process and wait months longer than expected to reunite.

“A mistranslated date, medical term, or legal phrase can change the outcome of any immigration case or court proceeding,” said Shamus Sayed, CEO of Interpreters Unlimited. “Technology can assist with efficiency, but when someone’s legal status, health records, or professional future are on the line, human expertise and accountability are essential.” For many users, this portal is more than a convenience during this time in our country, in the age of ICE and stricter immigration policies it is a lifeline, helping families reunite, students pursue opportunity, and immigrants move forward with confidence instead of confusion.

Certified Translation by Interpreters Unlimited™ pairs qualified professional linguists with translation management technology to deliver faster certified translations in more than 70 languages. This approach eliminates the delays and minimizes the back and forth communication of the traditional translation process, allowing customers to move forward faster with confidence. Each project is assigned to a linguist based on the language pair, ensuring cultural and contextual accuracy alongside linguistic precision, and all certified translations meet acceptance standards for courts, government agencies, schools, and official institutions.

The launch reflects a broader industry shift, as AI tools become more widespread, demand is simultaneously increasing for verified, accountable human translation in high risk settings such as immigration, healthcare, and legal proceedings. “AI can summarize or approximate meaning,” Sayed added. “But it cannot assume responsibility for the accuracy of a sworn translation. When families are applying for visas, students are submitting credentials, or patients are providing medical histories, precision matters, and that’s where we come in.”

Individuals and organizations can access the new portal at www.interpreters.com/certified-translation-portal.

SAN DIEGO, December 12, 2025 — Every December, while children around the world prepare their wish lists and count down the days until Christmas, Interpreters Unlimited prepares for something equally magical, helping NORAD bring Santa to life for millions of families in every corner of the globe. The NORAD Tracks Santa Program is entering another season of worldwide celebration, and this year, language access will reach more households than ever before.

Interpreters Unlimited has supported NORAD Tracks Santa for well over a decade, providing pro-bono language services that help children follow Santa’s journey across the world in their native language. What began years ago with translations in a select number of major languages has grown into a global communication effort that reflects the true diversity of the Christmas season.

This year marks one of the most significant expansions in the program’s accessibility. For the first time IU is expanding real time interpreter access from 8 major languages to more than 200 languages through IU’s virtual platform on December 24th, allowing more children and families than ever worldwide to speak directly with the NORAD team regardless of language barriers. At the same time, NORAD has enabled web-based calling so children who do not have access to international phone services will still be able to connect free of charge, opening the experience to communities historically unable to participate.

Website and video narration content will continue to be translated into eight major languages, ensuring that the experience is not limited to English speaking users. These enhancements are expected to significantly increase global engagement, particularly from countries and communities where Santa tracking has traditionally been limited by cost or language access.

“Every year we’re amazed by the number of families who join in from around the world,” said Shamus Sayed, CEO of Interpreters Unlimited. “This is one of our most meaningful partnerships because it’s not just about language, it’s about joy, imagination, being a part of something historic, and making sure every child has the same chance to experience the magic.”

The NORAD Tracks Santa story is part of military history and holiday tradition. What started in 1955 with a misdialed phone number that led children to call NORAD’s predecessor has evolved into a massive worldwide program supported by advanced tracking technology, satellites, radar, and now multilingual call centers and translated digital experiences. In 2024 there were over 32.5 million website page views from over 5.5 million different site visitors, spanning every continent. On December 24th, 2024, NORAD handled more than 381,000 phone calls from around the world as families checked in on Santa’s progress. Thanks to incredible volunteers, hundreds of thousands of kids around the world speak with a real person on Christmas Eve.

For Interpreters Unlimited, the partnership represents more than a seasonal project, it reflects the company’s mission of bridging cultures and ensuring no one is left out due to language. From hospitals to schools to government agencies, IU provides language access across the US year-round, but the annual NORAD initiative stands as one of its most far-reaching philanthropic contributions.

“Language shouldn’t be a barrier to joy,” said IU President Sayed Ali. “Whether someone is calling from Atlanta, Tokyo, Bogotá, or a military base overseas, we want them to feel connected to the same story.”

The NORAD Tracks Santa experience is live throughout December, with interactive features, games, and videos available at www.noradsanta.org. On December 24th, families can speak with NORAD volunteers and interpreters live via online calling or by dialing 1-877-HiNORAD for Santa’s up to date location.

SAN DIEGO, February 6, 2025 — Interpreters Unlimited (IU), a leading provider of language services has partnered with Diya Health, a visionary digital health SaaS company, to transform healthcare communication with the introduction of AI-powered interpretation and multimedia translation services. This groundbreaking collaboration is set to revolutionize language access in healthcare systems across the United States, offering immediate, secure, and cost-effective solutions that enhance patient care and provider efficiency.

Integrating state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology into their offerings, this new AI-powered platform enables seamless, on-demand interpretation and translation, eliminating wait times and ensuring clear communication between healthcare providers, patients, and their families. Designed to meet the growing demand for language access in medical settings, this service is fully HIPAA-compliant and complies with all federal and state healthcare language requirements, including ACA Section 1557.

The AI-powered interpretation service offers instant accessibility without any delays that can arise with traditional interpreter scheduling. Conversations are transcribed in real time, providing an accurate record that can be referenced as needed. The AI-based translation service delivers immediate, comprehensive translations while preserving document formatting and layout, streamlining communication between providers and non-English-speaking patients.

This innovative language solution seamlessly integrates with major Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Appointment Management Systems (AMS), including Epic and MyChart. By reducing inefficiencies and administrative burdens, the AI-powered platform allows clinicians to save more than 30 minutes per shift. This time savings is particularly valuable during the ongoing national shortage of clinical staff. Additionally, hospitals stand to reduce operational costs significantly, with an estimated $400K in annual savings for a 150-bed hospital.

Security and compliance remain top priorities for IU and Diya Health. The platform utilizes encrypted data storage, single sign-on authentication, multi-factor authentication, and immutable audit trails to ensure information security. Patient data is never shared or sold, and health systems have full control over their information. This AI-driven solution meets and exceeds industry standards for medical interpretation and translation, ensuring both accuracy and confidentiality.

In a recent Forbes article, Forbes Tech Council Member Frederick R. Pedersen said, “AI translation tools have reached an impressive level of precision and can process text in a fraction of the time it would take a human… AI-driven translation tools can elevate the quality and scalability of language services.” The introduction of AI in language services marks a significant shift in how healthcare providers communicate with diverse patient populations. This technology is not replacing human translators but rather augmenting existing language services, offering a flexible and cost-effective alternative where appropriate.

“Our ultimate goal is to create a bridge between Limited English proficiency speakers and the companies that serve them,” said Shamus Sayed, Vice President of Interpreters Unlimited. “Whatever we can do to improve and make services more efficient, we will do. As a tech minded company, we have been weaving AI options into our operations little by little, so in 2025 it only makes sense to collaborate with an AI focused company like Diya Health to take language services to the next level.”

Healthcare professionals can access this AI-powered interpretation and translation service from any smart device, ensuring 24/7 availability. With minimal training required, the platform is designed for immediate use, empowering medical staff to provide equitable and effective care to all patients, regardless of language barriers.
