The Albuquerque Area Office has a Directory developed locally by the New Mexico Translators & Interpreters Association. This Directory includes the names of individuals who are available to perform translation and interpretation services (for fees) for various languages (Arabic, Armenian, Czech, Daci, Farsi, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese). With the exception of Spanish, interpreters and translators for other languages have been infrequent.
Additionally, the Albuquerque Human Relations Department periodically compiles a Directory. The most recent update was in 1996. The Department is currently working on a new update but it won't be available for a few months.

Chicago Currently, the office does not have a need to seek additional language coverage from CBOs. (Most of the CBOs with whom the Chicago DO has continuing relationships cover the same languages.) The Chicago DO has informal arrangements with other federal agencies in Chicago to cover languages that the office's staff cannot speak, e.g. Arabic. However, the office has not had a need to request such assistance.

New York The need for translation services beyond the skills of current staff is extremely limited, perhaps to at most one occurrence annually. The NYDO has community based resources, if needed, which the office can rely upon if the charging party does not have a relative who can assist. The office's preference is to use a commercial translation service such as the one provided by InterpreTalk and described in our access plan.

San Francisco Due to concerns about maintaining a professional standard of translation that is confidential, neutral and objective and the reservations expressed by CBOs working with SFDO, our first preference is to use a commercial translation service such as over-the-phone translation (www.languageline.com). Other fee-based resources include Richard Schneider, a translation service utilized by our FEPA, CA DFEH, with over 130 languages (more information http://www.idioms.com/ or 1-800-500-5808) and the Asian Health Services's Language and Cultural Access Program (tel 510/986-1115: Cambodian, Cantonese, Farsi, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Vietnamese, or more information see www.ahschc.org and click on language access, then interpretation or translation.
The following represent the language capacities of some of our CBOs. Since many have expressed reservations about being listed in a national directory, please first contact SFDO.
