Public Sector
With the steady growth of our country’s multicultural population, city and state governments find an increasing need to translate into the languages spoken in local communities. Eriksen can help agencies develop the multilingual resources needed to keep residents safe, healthy, and informed.
Promoting Inclusion and Understanding
At Eriksen, we speak New York. Based in Brooklyn since 1986, we are a trusted partner to agencies serving the health and social service needs of New Yorkers with limited English proficiency.
Our diverse team of translators has extensive experience producing culturally sensitive language appropriate for city residents. This work runs the gamut, including public benefits, voting and civic participation, small business assistance, workers’ rights, consumer rights, civil protections, and community resources. In addition to translation and localization, agencies trust Eriksen to perform third-party review, to ensure materials translated by other vendors meet stringent quality standards.
