JR Language Translation Services Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month

Every year, from September 15 through October 15th, we pay tribute to and celebrate the generations of Hispanic Americans who have been a positive force and influence in the US and society. Hispanic Heritage Month also allows us to reflect on Hispanic Americans’ history, traditions, and unique culture.

September 15th is significant because it marks when five Latin American countries gained their independence: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Each year a new theme is introduced to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month.

• The 2023 theme for Hispanic Heritage Month was “Latinos: Driving Prosperity, Power, and Progress in America.” This theme acknowledges the significant influence of Latinos in promoting prosperity, power, and progress in America and the contributions of Hispanics to the United States’ economic, political, and social growth, including their population growth, political representation, and financial success.
• The 2024 theme will be “Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together.” This year’s theme aims to showcase  “the spirit of innovation, resilience, and unity that define the Hispanic experience.

One of our goals has been to support immigrants. We have been helping the Hispanic community express themselves and have access to critical information through Spanish translation and interpretation services.

Our Translation Company founded by Hispanics

JR Language is a translation company founded by a Hispanic woman, Jacqueline Ruffolo, a Hispanic American who understands the importance of language and culture in communication. Our Language Services agency recognizes, on a personal level, the significance of engaging the Hispanic community and giving them opportunities to grow to their fullest potential. With each request from Hispanic individuals for document translation services to apply for school and employment, we feel a great responsibility to do our part to ensure they have the certified translations they need to fulfill their dreams.

Honoring our Professional Spanish Translators

Our skilled, hard-working, expert Spanish translators are always helping us in our quest to facilitate effective communication and engagement with the Hispanic community. Most of these professional translators were raised and educated in Spanish-speaking countries. We work with translators from Puerto Rico, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and Venezuela, among others. These translators develop localized Spanish content that resonates regionally, and they are also capable of producing content that communicates to a broader audience through translation to neutral Spanish. Through our vast team of professional Spanish Translators, we have comprehensive knowledge and extensive understanding of Hispanic culture and Spanish language usage.

Our Hispanic translators have helped our corporate clients create meaningful relationships with Hispanic audiences through Spanish translation services, including website and marketing translation. They have translated critical documents, including legal, educational, or medical documents. Our professional Spanish interpreters have provided Spanish language interpretation in bilingual settings to ensure participants can easily communicate and understand each other. No matter the setting—legal, medical, or business—we will select the best interpreter for your meeting or bilingual engagement.

According to the 2020 U.S. Census,  about 19% of the population, or 62.1 million people, were identified as Hispanic or Latino. This made them the second-largest racial or ethnic group in the country after non-Hispanic whites. The Hispanic population includes people of Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin. Hispanic residents reside in nine states, including New York, Texas, California, Arizona, and Florida. Growing Hispanic populations are also reshaping the demographics of many states within the US.

It is also one of the fastest-growing groups in the U.S. Between 2010 and 2020, the country’s Hispanic population grew 23%, up from 50.5 million in 2010.  At the same time, the number of Hispanics born in the U.S. has grown.

Each year during Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the accomplishments and culture of the Hispanic community. We recognize the journey that much of the Hispanic community has made to secure a prosperous future for their families in the US and appreciate the rich culture they bring.

Let us all remember the Hispanic community’s strong values for family, education, and art and express our gratitude that this extraordinary community is a part of our melting pot of diverse cultures.

We invite you to participate in your community’s events so you can learn about the Hispanic Americans around you!
