LLE - Language Services increases over-the-phone interpreter personnel to address
the growing need for language support across the world.
Washington, D.C. (February 12, 2008) -- As growth of the non-English speaking population
in the U.S. accelerates, so does the dire need for accurate and effective communication.
Firms are realizing the influence of the 50 million plus individuals speaking a
language other than English. To respond to the communication challenge, LLE, has
significantly increased their linguistic workforce to include an ongoing, aggressive
recruitment initiative which has resulted in doubling its pool of professional interpreters
within the last two years.
Currently the company is recruiting for Hmong, Tagalog, Lao, Vietnamese, and many
other languages. In addition to carefully tracking client needs, LLE proactively
recruits based on census information and world events which may impact immigration
patterns. Presently about 20% of the U.S. population consists of limited English
proficient (LEP) individuals. On an annual basis LLE handles requests for over 100
different languages.
Vice President of Linguistic Resources, Heidi Lacy, advises that the combination
of experience, education and training produces a high quality, professional interpreter.
“LLE attracts some of the best talent in the industry. Interpreters typically have
at least 3 years of professional experience, hold a bachelor’s degree or higher,
and -- where applicable – hold professional certification. Additionally, interpreter
candidates are carefully assessed for a wide range of industry- specific terminology,
for cultural sensitivity as well as their ability to adapt effectively to different
levels of languages. Finally, LLE’s extensive training programs ensure that interpreters
stay abreast of any changes in our clients’ needs.”
“Our standards are high, and justifiably so,” adds LLE President and CEO, Kathleen
K. Diamond. “The LLE legacy consists of nearly 30 years of delivering excellence
in foreign languages, expanding the global reach for each and every one of our clients.
LLE engages a professional, dedicated and experienced linguist community equally
proficient in English and their native tongue.”
LLE, a leading provider of on-demand language services, delivers multilingual solutions
at every point of contact within an organization such as telephone interpretation,
email translation and online language proficiency assessment. Specifically, over
the phone interpretation is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in 150 languages.
