Telephonic Interpreter:
To complement our face-to-face interpretation services and written translation, the Tennessee Foreign Language Institute provides clear, fast, and accurate over-the-phone interpretation. We combine the latest technology with a staff of live language professionals located right here in the United States.
Our goal is to make communicating across language and cultural barriers as seamless and accurate as possible, while making it as easy as possible for you, our client. Here’s how we do it:
To use the service, dial 877-346-1674 from any phone, and you will be connected to the call center.
You will be asked to give the language you need, your name, and billing information.
The service can be scheduled in advance, or accessed without notice.
If you need to speak with a non-English speaker on the phone, the operator will place the call and make the conference call for you.
If you do not know the language you need, the operator will help you determine the language.
