FAQs
-
Why does my company need language services?
- Utilizing language services is a way for your company to take care of its existing Limited English Proficiency (LEP) customer base and/or increase its target market by more effectively communicating with LEP customers.
There are incredible opportunities for companies that expand the language they do business in to include more than just English. The Migration Policy Institute’s November 2016 study titled “Language Diversity and English Proficiency in the United States” reported that the number of people residing in the United States who speak a language other than English at home was at 64.7 million and has been rising swiftly. If your company can reach this segment of the U.S. market in a linguistically and culturally sensitive way, you can increase your domestic market share.
In addition, reaching customers in other countries in their native languages and dialects provides unlimited growth potential for your business.
