School is Back, Have You Secured Your Translation Services Yet?

iugroup — Fri, 23 Aug 2024 19:02:04 +0000

SAN DIEGO, August 23, 2024 — It’s been almost three months since we sent out an email and posted an article encouraging schools to get a head start on the new school year by learning about our language services for potential Non-English Speaking and Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing students. How is the new school year here already? Time flies, especially during summer vacation!

As the new school year begins, excitement fills the air. For many students, it’s a time of new friends, learning opportunities, and growth. But for some, like a new student at one of our team member’s San Diego schools, the start of school brings a different set of challenges. This particular student, newly arrived from Europe, speaks no English and currently has no interpreter set up by the school to help navigate daily communication.

Imagine being in their shoes, struggling to understand lessons, unable to communicate with teachers or peers, and feeling isolated and even scared and uncomfortable in a new environment. Without proper language support, students like this can quickly fall behind academically, socially, and emotionally. The importance of providing professional interpretation services cannot be overstated, it’s not just about understanding the words, it’s about ensuring every student feels included, supported, and able to thrive.

Interpreters Unlimited Recognizes Olympics Translation

iugroup — Tue, 06 Aug 2024 00:23:23 +0000

SAN DIEGO, August 5, 2024 — As the world has come together for the 2024 Olympics, a global celebration of athleticism and unity, it’s important to recognize the significant role that language and diversity play in fostering an inclusive and harmonious event. The Olympics remains a true representation of global solidarity and mutual respect, with interpretation and translation being an essential part of the games, a glue bringing everyone together.

This year in Paris, France, athletes from over 200 nations have come together to compete at the highest level. This convergence of diverse cultures and languages requires careful planning and the integration of language services to facilitate smooth communication and enhance the overall experience for everyone involved. From athletes and coaches to journalists and spectators, effective communication is vital.

Language is more than just a means of communication, it is a bridge that connects people from different backgrounds and cultures. Language services are instrumental in the Olympics, facilitating interactions between participants from different countries, promoting cultural exchange and mutual understanding. This fosters a sense of unity and respect among diverse groups. Effective communication between athletes, coaches, referees etc. is crucial for performance and a seamless experience. Multilingual interpreters ensure that instructions, strategies, and feedback are accurately conveyed, breaking down those language barriers.

The Olympics are a tremendous spectacle, a melting pot of cultures, attracting media coverage from across the globe. Translators and interpreters work tirelessly to provide real-time translations for press conferences, interviews, and official announcements, ensuring that information is accessible to international audiences. Additionally, with millions of spectators from around the world, multilingual support enhances the overall experience. From ticketing and event schedules to emergency information, language services ensure that all attendees feel welcomed and informed.

At Interpreters Unlimited, we are dedicated to promoting inclusivity and breaking down language barriers. Our team of highly skilled interpreters and translators are proficient in over 200 languages, including American Sign Language (ASL). We provide on-demand and scheduled services, in person, via video or over the phone, to meet the diverse needs of our clients, ensuring that language is never a barrier to participation or enjoyment. Whether it is a major sporting event, a routine doctor visit, a court appearance, day to day interpretation for schools, we cover it all!

Diversity is the heart of the Olympic spirit. It is what makes the event unique and inspiring. Celebrating diversity means recognizing and valuing the contributions of individuals from all walks of life. It is not only important to recognize the athletes, coaches and those who are at the forefront of the games, but also the interpreters and translators who play such an important role. Language services play a crucial role in this celebration by ensuring that everyone, regardless of their linguistic background, can be a part of the Olympic experience.

As the world enjoys the 2024 Olympics, Interpreters Unlimited is committed to supporting this global event by shining a light on the interpreters and translators who largely go unseen and uncredited. We believe that effective communication is the key to unlocking the full potential of diversity and inclusion at the Olympics and beyond. Being a leader in foreign language interpretation and document translation, IU is committed to continue to provide the highest level of language services, and to promote diversity, inclusion and accessibility for all.

ASL at the Super Bowl

iugroup — Thu, 17 Feb 2022 23:08:05 +0000

SAN DIEGO, February 17, 2022 — Did you catch Super Bowl LVI on Sunday? Did you catch the football team captains from the California School for the Deaf in Riverside joining the Rams and Bengals captains for the coin toss? The Riverside football players, Trevin Adams, Christian Jimenez, Jory Valencia and Enos Zornoza, were invited by the NFL to stand with the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals captains in recognition of their groundbreaking season where the all Deaf team went 12-1 last fall, with their only loss coming in the Division 2 Final. Some nice recognition from the NFL. Congrats!

Some more recognition and positive language news coming out of the Super Bowl. The highly anticipated and much talked about half time show led by hip hop stars Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem Kendrick Lamar and Mary J. Blige also had another significant addition to the group. For the first time in Super Bowl history, two of the halftime performers were Deaf. Deaf stars Warren “Wawa” Snipe and Sean Forbes were chosen by Dr. Dre to perform ASL along side all of the artists. Wawa and Forbes used their hands, body and facial expressions to perform exciting interpretations of the songs in American Sign Language as the artists sang on stage making for an inclusive and accessible show.
