US Department<br />
of State<br />
The Mission of the Office of Language<br />
Services of the Department of State<br />
is to facilitate communication with<br />
non-English speaking governments<br />
and people by providing high-level<br />
interpreting and translating support to<br />
the Executive Office of the President,<br />
the Department of State, and other<br />
agencies of the United States Federal<br />
Government.<br />
Our contract interpreters are tested<br />
for consecutive, simultaneous and/or<br />
conference work at three different levels<br />
of skill in over 40 languages.<br />
Staff interpreters must hold US<br />
citizenship. Contract interpreters may<br />
be foreign nationals, but they must be<br />
able to work legally in the United States.<br />
The Office of Language Services carries<br />
on a tradition of language support<br />
for the conduct of foreign policy<br />
that dates back to 1789, when it was<br />
founded by Thomas Jefferson, the first<br />
Secretary of State of the United States<br />
of America. We have approximately 20<br />
staff diplomatic/conference interpreters<br />
representing a dozen languages.<br />
