Spanish World, LLC is founded, later renamed Language World Services, Inc.
Who We Are
Established nearly 25 years ago in a rented garage, Language World has since grown into one of California’s largest and most prestigious language access providers. Throughout our journey, we have been the voice for a diverse range of clientele encompassing Presidents of Mexico and Chile, expectant mothers, esteemed academic dignitaries and international delegations.
In 2009, we shifted from contracted interpreters to in-house employees, reinforcing our dedication to quality and advancing the professionalization of the language industry. Fast forward to 2017, we expanded our services by introducing a cutting-edge video remote call center, and more recently, relocated to a modern facility in Rancho Cordova, CA.
Driven by our team’s unwavering dedication and passion to inspire change, Language World continues to thrive and advance its mission of providing equitable language access for our communities.
