How San Diego Uses Translation

Translation for Education

University of California San Diego, UCSD, maintains a high rank among public universities in the USA and in the world. For international students and faculty, JR Language offers certified translation of personal legal identification papers like birth certificates and immigration papers for the employment and enrollment processes. We also offer certified translation of documents like transcripts, syllabi, campus safety material, policies, etc. to help facilitate learning and campus life. eLearning courses and video content is also translated to support students around the world.

Multilingual Medicine

San Diego relies on professional medical translation and interpretation on a daily basis. Medical document translation is used for patient intake forms, charts, therapy instructions, records, and discharge documents. For instance, interpretation services allow a local doctor to help a Korean tourist by getting their records from their physician’s office, speaking with the patient and their partner, and arranging physical therapy at a clinic.

Language support for Tourism

In a city with as many attractions as San Diego, we see high demand for tourist translation. We translate personal identification documents, safety literature, tour information, signage, handouts, and more. Once the travel industry starts coming back, with the emphasis on traveling safely, language services are going to be a great aid for the San Diego tourism industry. From translation services to bilingual guides, the language support for tourism is important to welcome new visitors that cannot communicate well in English. Also having guides translated and interpreters make for a better experience for the visitors. They will go back to their country to talk about their experience of being able to really experience the city and feeling welcome.

The Workplace is Global and Multilingual

The workplace is not an area where language barriers can be allowed to exist. Lack of understanding can result in loss of production, errors, and lawsuits. We serve our San Diego clients by translating documents like manuals, Human Resources materials, shipping forms, legal documents, financial records, and anything else needed. We use legal and HR professionals dedicated to keeping our clients’ industry as safe and prosperous as possible with language services. Translation for San Diego businesses enables them to employ the best talent, offer attractive proposals, retain records that will stand up to legal scrutiny, and make lasting connections.

Also, for corporations that have offices and partners around the globe, interpretation via Zoom can bring all the meeting’s participants together to receive the same information in their language.

Translating Technologies

Technology plays a key role in San Diego. San Diego is the #1 location for amassed military and defense assets in the world according to the San Diego Military Advisory Council. The military uses technology only found in science fiction and has people speaking many languages in its ranks. The city also maintains a spot in the forefront of Smart City development, a combination of public and private efforts to improve the area’s energy performance and reduce waste, this effort also requires high-level technology to serve a multilingual populace. Collaborative spaces are being used by different branches of the military, technology companies, education entities, and government agencies to combine knowledge to achieve goals of energy independence. As part of Envision America, San Diego has also committed to incorporating climate change reduction into its work.
