Who We Are
From humble beginnings in a rented garage 20+ years ago, Language World has since grown into Northern California’s largest and most respected interpreting, translation and bilingual staffing solutions provider. Our unwavering support of the employee model has distinguished us from competitors, while elevating the significant work of linguists and the industry as a whole.
Our language experts and staff are profoundly motivated by their fight against the marginalization of the Limited English Community due to language barriers. Through lived experience, professional training, ongoing quality support and technology, our interpreters empathetically manage encounters across languages, socioeconomic disparities and cultural division.
This is our core work.
