When you think of businesses that never close, do translation services come to mind? Cal Interpreting & Translations is not only available 24-hours a day, CIT operates all 365 days a year to interpret with 24-hour translation service in over 200 languages.
So why be open all year? Why be available 24 hours?
The answer is easy with more than the entire population of France speaking a language other than English in the U.S. since 2018. CIT works all 365 days a year because so many lives can depend on it. There is a multitude of mission-critical businesses that require access to an interpreter or translator on short notice.
It's 10:00 pm on a school night. Do you know where your interpreter is? CIT's are working hard for clients around the world. In fact, our team spans the globe.
Global businesses must simply answer the phone 24-hours because it's always 9:00 am somewhere.
Here are a few segments often hit with a sudden need for written or verbal translation. While healthcare and urgency go hand-in-hand, 911 often requires a remote interpreter at all hours of the day.
Try telling a corporate executive they now need an interpreter to assist on a flood of inbound calls in response to a recent press release translated into Spanish, or Cantonese. A freelance translator won't be available. CIT will be — even at 2:00 am.
From immigration attorneys who need documents translated quickly to hospitals with injured patients who require an interpreter to bridge the gap in communication with attending physicians — few language services companies are equipped to provide their interpreting and translation services with 24-hour availability.

It’s not uncommon they require an examination under oath.

Telephonic or Over-the-Phone interpreting is available for personal use and businesses of any size.
Telephonic interpreting is a great short notice or emergency solution which is referred to as, on-demand.
With only 4 steps, it’s easy to use.
Combining audio with video, Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) is largely used by Deaf or LEP (Limited English Proficient) when an onsite interpreter is suddenly unavailable.
VRI is widely used in healthcare and companies with multiple locations.
Regardless of the delivery method, interpreting or translation services hold little value if you can't reach them.
Does 24-hour availability cost more? The answer is "No".
