Translation and Interpretation Policy
Recognizing the need for a comprehensive strategy to better serve Seattle
residents with limited English proficiency, Mayor Greg Nickels
developed a far-reaching translation and interpretation policy. On Jan.
31, 2007, the Mayor signed an Executive Order directing City departments
to adopt this new policy. In addition, the Mayor strengthened the City's
capacity to execute the new policy in several ways, such as enhancing the
Employee Language Bank and increasing the number of blanket contractors
available to provide translation and interpretation services. The links
below provide additional details.
