We’re Transforming Language Services
High-Touch Service by Expert Interpreters
Connection
CLI creates more meaningful connections between your organization and your customers by allowing everyone to communicate in their native language. We believe language is a human right, and with up to 20% of your customers speaking English as a second language, language translation is essential to doing business.
Reliability
We focus on incredible flexibility in services, the best customer service in the industry, most skilled interpreters, and the widest range and highest availability of languages amongst our competitors.
We deliver this to you through constantly innovating our technology, never sacrificing security, and building relationships you’ll actually enjoy.
Strong communities and healthy futures
through language access
Philanthropy
CLI is dedicated to preserving endangered languages around the world through our work sponsoring the studies of linguist, author, and activist K. David Harrison.
CLI sponsors 7000 Languages, a U.S.-based organization that creates free language-learning software for Indigenous communities around the world.
Community
Our organization is engaged in community initiatives throughout Phoenix and Portland.
It’s common for our employees to be active volunteers as well, bringing their experiences back to CLI to make us a more rounded organization.
Diversity
CLI is a woman-owned company.
Our employees and subcontractors reflect our commitment to cultivating diversity by promoting the use of minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses whenever possible.
