The Multilingual Word Advantage

We have a reputation for our willingness to go the extra mile to provide difficult-to-find languages when other interpreting agencies can not. We have continued to add to our interpreter database as our community becomes more diverse. Our extensive interpreter base consists of hundreds of independent contractors proficient in more than 100 languages and dialects.  In addition, we provide American Sign Language (ASL) and are widely regarded as one of the only all-language interpreting services that maintains a roster of certified and highly qualified ASL interpreters.
