Language Line Services predicts mobile language shift

Language access is becoming an increasingly important concern for sectors such as healthcare, government and legal services, and mobile language service will be the leading industry trend this year, reports HealthCare Distributor magazine.
“Language access in the United States has never been more important than it is today, as the country’s growing ethnic minorities are projected to become the majority by 2050,”  Louis F. Provenzano Jr., President and CEO of Language Line Services, says in the article.
For the first time ever, the over-the-phone interpretation industry will offer live access to interpreters on cell phones in more than 170 languages. Language Line Services also has developed online portals for the government and healthcare industries to provide streamlined, industry-specific language access in one central location, the article states.
