Dialog One

Dialog One provided translation and interpretation services for a school district with 1200 English learners and many recently arrived refugees. The company's tools, which are similar to a FaceTime App, were instrumental in assisting with home visits and easily connecting with families. The services provided by Dialog One included word-for-word translations and cultural nuances. The school district has eleven cultural liaisons and at least one representative for each of their top languages. The school district spends at least $100,000 per year on these services. The partnership started in September 2016 and is ongoing.

In another project, Dialog One provided on-demand translation and interpretation services for a Pre-K through fifth-grade elementary school. The school, which has many families who speak different languages, needed a service that could support their translation and interpretation needs, especially in a virtual environment. Dialog One provided video interpreters, and the school could use this on-demand service for any situation. The school has invested around $5,000–$10,000 in this service. The partnership started in October 2018 and is ongoing.

Dialog One also provided translation services for ACDA of Minnesota, an educational nonprofit professional music organization. The organization wanted to attract students and families to their honor choir program, so Dialog One translated their scholarship application forms into Spanish, Somali, and Hmong. The translations included personal profile information and family profile information. The organization spent about $540 on this service. The project started in the first part of August and was completed in mid-August.
