Why California agencies choose Taika

Serve every resident in their language — and stay ahead of every mandate.

Nearly 44% of California households speak a language other than English, and about 19% of residents speak English less than “very well” (California Dept. of Justice) — so meaningful language access is central to serving the public. Taika helps your agency meet Title VI, EO 13166, and ADA obligations without adding staff.

Certified translation

Certified and standard document translation for legal, medical, government, and academic use — signed certificate of accuracy for USCIS, court, and institutional submission.

Professional interpretation

On-site, on-demand phone (OPI), video-remote (VRI), and ASL / CART interpretation for service encounters, hearings, IEP meetings, and community events — scheduled or around the clock.

Section 508 & ADA compliance

Document and media remediation to Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA, plus captioning and subtitling — so your digital communications meet accessibility obligations.

Digital accessibility deadlines are here

Under the ADA Title II rule, public entities serving 50,000+ people must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 24, 2026; smaller entities and special district governments by April 24, 2027. We remediate documents, websites, and video captioning to close the gap.

How we're different & better

One accountable partner — not a fragmented vendor list.

Typical language vendor

  • Separate vendors for translation, interpreting, and 508
  • Portal-only; no named human contact
  • Slow, unclear quoting

Taika

  • Translation + interpretation + Section 508/ADA in one contract
  • A named team that answers the phone
  • Written quotes at locked contract pricing

What we love that California is doing

California is investing in language access.

A few initiatives — in the areas we work in every day — that we admire:

Dymally-Alatorre Bilingual Services Act

California requires state agencies serving substantial non-English-speaking populations to provide bilingual staff and translated materials — a landmark commitment to language access we're proud to support.

Source: California Dept. of Justice — Limited English

CalHHS agency-wide Language Access Policy

The California Health & Human Services Agency directs each department to build a Language Access Plan so people with limited English proficiency can reach health and social services.
