Since Fall 2018, the Translation Center has provided training to around 300 school employees via our interpreter and translator in education workshop series. We offer this training to districts, schools, and individuals. Read about our work with the MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Since 1979, the Translation Center has been providing translation services to individuals, small businesses, large companies, non-profit organizations, educational institutions, museums and many others near and far. Thanks to our resources and networks, we work with over 80 languages. We are a non-profit and proceeds are reinvested in teaching, research, and other educational activities.

The Translation Center provides employment opportunities for students. They work closely with the Center's project managers on specific assignments and occasionally participate in the translation process as translators or reviewers. They also work with the Director on special projects and provide administrative support. Thanks to their time with us, students gain valuable professional experience and develop a deep awareness of responsible language use.
