Language translation services play a critical role in the US government, particularly in facilitating communication and information sharing with non-English speaking populations. ETS has worked with government agencies on the local, state, and federal levels to help communicate accurately and effectively to everyone.
Here are some of the key ways in which language translations are used within the US government:
Legal and judicial proceedings: Translation services are used in legal and judicial proceedings to ensure that non-English speaking individuals have access to legal proceedings and can understand their rights and obligations. This includes translating legal documents.
Diplomacy and foreign relations: The US government uses translation services to communicate with foreign governments and diplomats, as well as to translate international treaties, agreements, and other official documents.
Healthcare: Translation services are used to provide healthcare services to non-English speaking patients, including translating medical documents and records.
Emergency services: In emergency situations, translation services are used to communicate with non-English speaking individuals and provide them with critical information and assistance.
Education: The US government has created laws that state public schools must provide translation services to support non-English speaking students and families in accessing educational opportunities and resources.
Government services and programs: The US government uses translation services to make government services and programs accessible to non-English speaking populations, including translating government websites, forms, and other documents.
