SAN DIEGO, April 14, 2026 — Interpreters Unlimited (IU) is proud to announce the launch of a new suite of AI powered assistants designed to streamline communication, simplify workflows, and enhance the overall experience for both customers and linguists.

The newly introduced IU AI Assistants bring intelligent, real-time support directly into the hands of users through a simple, conversational interface, making it easier than ever to access critical information, manage appointments, and navigate the platform without friction. At the heart of the launch are two primary tools, the Client AI Assistant, built for customers, and the Linguist AI Assistant, designed specifically for interpreters and translators.

For organizations and individuals relying on language services, time and clarity are critical. The Client AI Assistant allows users to instantly retrieve important appointment details, ask platform related questions, and get guided support 24/7 without having to search through multiple pages or wait for assistance.

Using natural language, customers can ask questions such as,  “Show my upcoming events”,  “Give me upcoming events in California” , or “How do I reset my password” etc. The assistant then delivers clear, relevant answers in real time, pulling directly from system data and trusted knowledge sources.

For interpreters and translators, the Linguist AI Assistant introduces a faster, more intuitive way to manage daily workflows. From viewing and accepting assignments to submitting timesheets and accessing event details, linguists can now handle essential tasks through a single conversational interface. Key capabilities include viewing upcoming, ongoing, and past assignments, accessing detailed event information (date, time, location, language), accepting assignments directly through the assistant, completing and submitting timesheets, payment related questions etc.

Both the Client and Linguist AI Assistants operate through two intuitive modes. Appointment Mode, which provides real-time access to event and scheduling information, and General Mode, which answers common questions and provides platform guidance. This dual-mode approach ensures users can quickly get the information they need, whether it’s related to a specific assignment or general support.

Users can access the AI Assistants in the main navigation menu of interpreters.com and creating a secure account with an email and password, ensuring a personalized and protected experience.

“The goal was simple,” said Interpreters Unlimited CEO Shamus Sayed. “We wanted to remove friction, so whether you’re a customer needing quick answers or a linguist managing your schedule, everything is easier, faster, and more intuitive.”

In addition to customer and linguist tools, IU has also developed an internal AI Assistant for staff, designed to enhance day-to-day operations for the IU team, improving response times, and increasing overall efficiency across the organization.

With the launch of these AI Assistants, Interpreters Unlimited continues to expand its investment in technology, combining human expertise with intelligent tools to better serve a diverse and multilingual world. As demand for fast, accessible communication grows across industries, IU’s latest innovation reflects a broader shift toward smarter, more responsive language solutions.

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, July 1, 2025 — Across the United States, from hospitals and classrooms to courtrooms and government agencies, one thing is becoming impossible to ignore, the need for professional language services is increasing. State after state, the US is experiencing a significant shift in its linguistic and cultural landscape and it’s more than a trend.

In 2024, the human interpretation market saw an impressive 25.5% increase, reaching $11.6 billion. The numbers don’t lie, more Americans are seeking help in languages other than English, and the institutions that serve them must evolve and meet this rise in demand quickly.

The US foreign born population hit an all time high of nearly 48 million in 2023, growing by 3.3 million in just one year. These individuals are not temporary visitors. Many are permanent residents, citizenship applicants, or asylum seekers, future citizens, people navigating the most important moments of their lives from medical diagnoses to legal hearings, child welfare decisions, school enrollment for their children and on. 2024 even concluded with nearly 3 million inadmissible encounters at US borders, highlighting the increasing number of individuals seeking entry into the country.

Industry data reflects this shift as well. In Healthcare, since the pandemic, Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) usage has increased by 50%. Today, 65% of U.S. hospitals use it regularly to bridge language gaps. K–12 schools have seen a 13% rise in English Learners over the past decade. They now make up more than 10% of the national student population. US courts have reported a 30% rise in interpreter hours over the last five years, reflecting increased demand for access to justice across languages. And in Government, federal spending on language services has grown to an estimated $700–800 million annually, with nearly half of all agencies relying on interpreters to serve diverse communities.

This isn’t just a matter of operational need, it’s a question of access, equity, and readiness. Institutions must adapt not only to comply with legal obligations, but to build trust and deliver essential services effectively. Language is often the bridge between confusion and clarity, between fear and understanding.

While many organizations are scrambling to respond, some providers have been working in this space for decades. Interpretation and translation companies like Interpreters Unlimited, which has operated for over 50 years providing foreign language interpretation and document translation, report firsthand the sharp increase in language service requests, not just from immigration related offices, but from public schools, hospitals, courts, and state agencies.

“We’re seeing more demand across the board, it’s not just one sector, and it’s not going away,” said Shamus Sayed, COO of Interpreters Unlimited. “Organizations are beginning to realize that serving diverse communities means meeting people where they are, and that starts with language. It’s not just an option anymore, it’s a necessity.”

As immigration remains in the national conversation and our population becomes more linguistically diverse, it’s clear this isn’t a passing moment. For all organizations, all industries, this moment presents both a challenge and an opportunity to build systems that are more inclusive, responsive, and prepared for the demographic realities of the country. As the country continues to diversify linguistically, and more residents and families seek essential services without full fluency in English, experts say organizations must prepare now or risk falling behind.

Providing high quality, professional language services is not only essential for effective communication, it’s the foundation for equity, trust, and service accessibility in a changing America. A reliable language partner isn’t optional, it’s essential.
