Professional On-Site Interpreters
A reliable approach to interpretation is to use professional on-site interpreters. Nonverbal communication makes up a large portion of language. LanguageLinc LLC Interpreters are individuals who have been screened for their language skills, trained in interpretation ethics and techniques, and contracted only to interpret. On-Site Interpreters need notice for assignments so please allow 30 minutes minimum (within Lincoln, Nebraska city limits) to arrive at your requested location. Please indicate if you have a gender preference when requesting an interpreter.
Telephonic Interpretation
A variation of the professional on-site interpreter model is the use of telephonic interpretation. LanguageLinc can provide you with an interpreter over the phone (OPI) on demand by calling 1-888-469-6555 or 402-473-2940 without any advance planning. Call or email LanguageLinc for rates.
Online Scheduling
LanguageLinc also offers online scheduling for not so immediate needs, if you choose. Schedule an interpreter for a day, by the hour or for several appointments. You will receive email notification of your request, and confirmation of an interpreter name within 24 hours from LanguageLinc. If the email is not provided if you wish we will call the phone number provided. All online requests must be made over 24 hour notice.
