At MINT, our mission begins with a commitment to empower people. We know that clear communication and accurate understanding between people who speak different languages makes a world of difference.

Effective language services empower Limited English Proficiency (LEP) people to participate more fully in their health care, rehabilitation, educational opportunities, community partnerships, and legal proceedings. This can lead to better health outcomes, quicker recovery, improved learning, greater civic engagement—to growth.

At the same time, effective language services empower English-speaking physicians, physical therapists, counselors, advisors, nurses, teachers, lawyers, business leaders, community organizers, care coordinators and Qualified Rehabilitation Consultants (QRCs) to deliver services to and partner with LEP members of their community.

Finally, MINT is committed to empowering language service professionals—interpreters and translators whose skills and expertise make clear communication and accurate understanding possible. MINT offers competitive pay, plus professional development and networking opportunities. We reward outstanding performance, provide personalized and attentive support, share resources exclusive to the MINT language service provider community, and advocate for the professionalization of the language services field.

How far in advance do I need to request language services?kxsgrnsh2019-08-16T21:15:06-05:00

How far in advance do I need to request language services?

Matching the best interpreter or translator to your needs takes time, so we love advanced notice. Typically, we book interpreters days or weeks ahead of time to ensure the highest quality service for you, but we know that last-minute needs come up. Send us your rush or ASAP requests—you will be surprised by how often MINT comes through where other language services agencies let you down.

Can I request a specific interpreter?kxsgrnsh2019-08-16T21:17:17-05:00

Can I request a specific interpreter?

Yes, of course! We know that our interpreters are outstanding, and it makes sense that you want to continue working with a specific interpreter who has gotten to know you and your LEP clients/patients. We know that continuity of service/care produces better outcomes for everyone. Send us your request, and we’ll take it from there!

Our MINT Service Request Form (MSVF) can also be used to cancel or reschedule an appointment.

Late cancellation fees may apply.

If you need to cancel a translation project, email services@mintlanguages.com or call us at 651-764-MINT (6468).
