Santa Clara County Extends Contract With TransPerfect for On-demand Translation Services for COVID-19 Response

NEW YORK, NY, June 1, 2020 – TransPerfect, the world’s largest provider of language and technology solutions for global business, announced that the government for Santa Clara County, California, has extended their contract for on-demand translation services to support response efforts for the COVID-19 outbreak.

Santa Clara is a diverse county with multiple languages spoken among its residents and has previously engaged with TransPerfect for citizen communications. With the significant impact of COVID-19 in California, Santa Clara asked TransPerfect to quickly staff on-site translators to meet the county’s rapidly growing language needs.

TransPerfect placed translators to handle Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Tagalog translations of COVID-19 content, which included written documents like FAQs, guidelines, public health information, and published best practices, as well as resident questions and answers.
