Bromberg & Associates remains committed to serving our culturally diverse local and global community by providing high-quality professional language access solutions for all.
With the recent developments in the spread of the Coronavirus COVID-19, it is more imperative than ever for organizations to proactively provide accurate, accessible and timely communications.
Whether you are an existing partner or new to language access, we would like to share some best practices for you to consider when communicating with Limited English Proficient, Deaf and hard of hearing communities regarding Coronavirus COVID-19:
- Know and understand your audiences’ language needs, including American Sign Language and develop a list of languages needed for your consumers, clients, students, and patients.
- Ensure that your message is direct and concise to guarantee the resulting translation will be as clear as possible.
- Reach out to professional, qualified language companies to ensure that the message is accurate. Do not rely on Google Translate or other free translation platforms for translating critical information.
- Implement and utilize remote interpreting solutions (Video Remote Interpreting and Telephonic Interpreting) instead of On-site Interpreting whenever possible.
- Prepare for your organization’s future language access needs by developing a thorough language access plan.
