As with any new technology, smartphone-based interpreting raises fresh questions. For example:

• When is a smartphone an appropriate interpreting modality?
• Which staff members should have access to the interpreting app?
• How do I manage my language budget when access to interpretation is more widespread?
• How do I secure buy-in from decision-makers?
• What are best practices for implementing mobile interpreting?

LanguageLine is recognized as the global leader in on-demand interpretation and translation, providing language access to thousands of healthcare organizations across North America, including 19 of the top 20 hospital systems and 72 of the Fortune 100.

It is estimated that more than 40 languages are spoken in Louisiana aside from English. French is spoken exclusively by 7 percent of the population while Cajun in spoken at home by about 5 percent.
