Why it matters
The Problem We Solve for Government Agencies
Every language gap shows up somewhere in your operations.
These are the problems agencies bring to us, and how we fix them.
Residents can’t act on what you send them
A benefits notice people can’t read turns into phone calls, missed appointments, and appeals. We translate your notices, forms, and letters into the languages your residents speak, with one glossary so every document says the same thing.
Compliance exposure
Title VI and state language access laws apply to many of your programs, and gaps can surface in a complaint or an audit. Our language access support helps you decide which documents to translate first and into which languages.
Procurement slows everything down
A new vendor search can take longer than the translation itself. You can order through our GSA Schedule, set up a BPA once for recurring work, or contract with us directly on NET30 terms.
Sensitive data at risk
Case files and personal records can’t go to free online tools or unvetted freelancers. We protect them with ISO 27001-certified security, NDAs for every linguist, and human review on anything that affects a person’s rights or benefits.
Compliance
Compliance Support for Agencies
We help your agency meet the language access rules your programs answer to. Under Title VI and state language access laws, that starts with deciding which documents to translate and which languages your communities need. Some states set the list for you. New York, for example, requires state agencies to translate key documents into the 12 most common non-English languages.
We also handle work with its own formal standards.
Our certified translations meet USCIS rules at 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
We provide interpreters for hearings, depositions and attorney-client meetings.
Translated web pages are built to the same Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards as your English pages.
What we translate
Government Translation Services for Every Program
Our government translation services cover every document your residents and staff rely on, in more than 500 languages and in PDF, Word, PowerPoint and XML.
Notices, Forms and Correspondence
We translate eligibility letters, renewal notices, ordinances, ballot materials, meeting agendas, and intake, enrollment and benefits applications, laid out to match your originals.
Reports, Policies and Case Records
Annual reports, program policies, grant applications and staff training manuals get the same care as the public-facing material. Case files, evidence and statements are handled under strict access controls.
Certified Government Translation
Our certified translation services include a signed certification of completeness and accuracy for USCIS filings, courts and agencies that accept foreign records.
Websites, Digital Services and Emergency Alerts
Our localization team adapts benefits portals, appointment systems, payment pages and apps, with alt text, form labels and language tags in place. For emergencies, we keep pre-translated alert templates on file, so a hurricane warning or boil-water notice only needs the new details.
Interpretation
Government Interpreting Services
Your staff needs the right interpreter for each setting, available when the conversation happens.
100+ languages, any hour
Phone and Video Interpreting
Front desks, call centers, and 911 lines can reach a phone interpreter in more than 100 languages at any hour. Video remote interpreting covers caseworker meetings and clinics where facial expressions and documents matter.
Within 24 hours
On-Site Interpreting
For hearings, interviews, and inspections, we can place an interpreter at your location within 24 hours of your request. We’ve interpreted for the Department of Defense stateside and abroad.
In the room or on Zoom
Simultaneous Interpreting for Public Meetings
Council meetings, public hearings, and town halls get simultaneous interpreting in the room or through the interpretation channels on Zoom and similar platforms. Learn more about our interpreting services.
Contract vehicles
Buying Through GSA and Direct Contracts
We make government language services easy to buy, whatever contract vehicle your office uses.
GSA Schedule Orders
Federal buyers can order our federal government translation services, interpreting and transcription under GSA MAS contract 47QRAA24D001H, SIN 541930. Send an RFQ through GSA eBuy or contact us directly. Under FAR 8.404, GSA has already found schedule prices fair and reasonable.
Blanket Purchase Agreements
A BPA sets pricing and turnaround once, so program staff can order without restarting procurement every time.
State and Local Contracts
State agencies, counties, cities, courts and school districts can hire us through their own RFPs or purchase orders, with NET30 invoicing.
Verify and request a quote
You can confirm our registration on SAM.gov with UEI G99LRFMLEEA9 or CAGE code 7Q416. For an accurate quote, include languages, volumes, turnaround, interpreting hours and any security or accessibility requirements in your RFQ.
Who we serve
Agencies We Serve
Federal Agencies
Our federal work has included homeland security, law enforcement and benefits agencies, covering investigative evidence, intelligence reports, public guidance and correspondence.
State and Local Governments, Courts and Public Safety
We translate notices, forms and websites and interpret public meetings for state agencies, counties and cities. Courts get interpreters for hearings, depositions and attorney-client meetings, and our legal translation team handles exhibits, transcripts and orders. Police and sheriff’s offices use our phone interpreters for 911 and dispatch, plus transcription of recorded interviews, jail calls and body camera footage.
Health, Education and Community Services
Public health and human services agencies rely on us for Medicaid notices, SNAP and WIC forms, vaccination campaigns and outbreak updates, handled in line with HIPAA. School districts send us enrollment forms, report cards and special education documents, and book interpreters for parent-teacher conferences and IEP meetings. Resettlement agencies use our certified translations for USCIS, along with translated intake forms, orientation guides and rights notices.
Security & data protection
Security and Data Protection
Government files carry personal data, case details and information that can’t leave approved hands.
ISO 27001:2022 Certified
Our information security management is independently certified.
Signed NDAs
Every linguist and staff member signs one before touching your files.
Encrypted Transfer
Files move over 256-bit SSL encryption.
Named Access Only
Only the people assigned to your project can open your files.
HIPAA-Compliant Handling
For health and human services records.
Human Review
GSA’s ordering guide warns against machine-translating important documents without review by a qualified translator. A human linguist translates or reviews anything that affects a person’s rights, benefits, safety or legal standing.

How it works
Our 6-Step Government Translation Process
Every agency project follows the same structured, repeatable process, so your contracting officer and program staff know what happens next.
Step 1: Discovery and Requirements
We map your languages, volumes, deadlines, security needs and accessibility standards.
Step 2: Proposal and Contract Vehicle
You get SLAs, security controls, pricing and team composition in writing, under a GSA order, BPA or your own purchase order.
Step 3: Glossary Setup in Smartcat
We build a terminology glossary and translation memory from your existing materials, so program names stay consistent.
Step 4: Translation by Subject-Matter Linguists
Linguists matched to your program area translate your documents.
Step 5: Dual-Layer Quality Assurance
A second qualified linguist revises every translation under our ISO 17100 process.
Step 6: Secure Handover and Program Review
Files come back through encrypted channels, and a dedicated account manager runs quarterly business reviews on volumes, turnaround, and spend.

Government Translation Services FAQs
Answers to the questions contracting officers and program managers ask most.
Have a question about your agency’s contract or RFQ? Our government team can walk you through ordering options.
Talk to Our TeamWe provide document translation, certified translation, website and app localization, transcription, and on-site, phone and video interpreting for federal, state and local agencies. We work in more than 500 languages, under our GSA Schedule contract or through direct contracts.
Yes. Day Translations provides GSA Schedule translation services under Multiple Award Schedule contract 47QRAA24D001H, SIN 541930, Translation and Interpretation Services.

Yes. State agencies, counties, cities, courts, and school districts can contract with us through their own RFPs, purchase orders, or ongoing service agreements, with NET30 invoicing and a dedicated glossary for each agency.
Pricing depends on languages, volume, subject matter, turnaround, and any certification, formatting, or interpreting hours you need. Federal orders use our GSA Schedule rates. Repeat text costs less once it's in your translation memory, and a BPA can lock pricing for recurring work.
We work under ISO 27001:2022 certified security controls. Every linguist and staff member signs an NDA, files move over 256-bit SSL encryption, and access is limited to the people named on your project. Health information is handled in line with HIPAA.
No. It made English the official language and revoked Executive Order 13166, but it doesn't require agencies to stop multilingual services. Title VI still applies to programs that receive federal funds, and many state and city laws still require translated materials.
Your Residents Are Waiting
Every notice people can’t read becomes a phone call, a missed deadline, or an appeal your staff has to handle.
Day Translations can close that gap with government translation, interpreting, and localization under one GSA Schedule contract, starting with your next RFQ.
