Why Massachusetts agencies choose Taika

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

Nearly one in ten Massachusetts adults has limited English proficiency; the most commonly spoken languages include Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Haitian Creole. Taika helps your agency meet Title VI, Executive Order 615, 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

  • A named team that answers the phone
  • Written quotes at locked contract pricing

What we love that Massachusetts is doing

Massachusetts is leading on language access.

We're proud to support a state that treats language access as core to serving its people. A few initiatives — in the areas we work in every day — that we admire:

Executive Order 615 — language access across state government

In September 2023, Massachusetts required every executive department agency to name a Language Access Coordinator and publish a Language Access Plan, so residents with limited English proficiency can reach the services they're entitled to.

Statewide Language Access Policy & Implementation Guidelines

The Commonwealth publishes clear, agency-wide guidelines for translating vital documents and providing interpreters — a model that makes it easier for public entities to serve multilingual communities consistently.
