Educational Interpreters and Translation Services

Let us help you achieve your educational mission. Contact us today to discuss contract options.

Every child deserves a well-rounded education and parents have a right to be informed about their child’s performance – in their language. School districts hire professional interpreters and translators through IU to help students transition from their native tongue to English or to communicate with parents, guardians and the community. At Interpreters Unlimited we provide a full suite of language services for individual schools and entire school districts, offering services both on demand and through short term or long term contracts.

We contract with skilled linguists to provide our nation’s schools with interpreters for meetings, assemblies, after school activities and other situations where a conversation takes place. Most districts choose to provide services on an as-needed basis, for the most common spoken languages in the area. We can also translate and localize your website and all correspondence including emails, texts and letters.

These academic interpreting services help foreign exchange students and students with limited English proficiency exceed in their studies, feel comfortable in the campus environment and understand what’s expected of them. Contact us for an in-person appointment for 200 spoken languages and/or American Sign Language. Our skilled and experienced education linguists cover K-12 Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, High Schools and public and private Colleges and Universities.
