Why Rhode Island agencies choose Taika

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

About 22% of Rhode Islanders speak a language other than English at home — most commonly Spanish and Portuguese (U.S. Census). Taika helps your agency meet Title VI, Section 1557, 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 coming

Under the ADA Title II web rule, public entities serving 50,000 or more must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027; smaller entities and special district governments by April 26, 2028. We remediate documents, websites, and video captioning to close the gap — well ahead of the deadline.

Languages for Rhode Island

The languages Rhode Island needs most — and 300+ more.

Rhode Island's judiciary translates court forms and provides interpreters in the state's most-needed languages:

  • Spanish
  • Portuguese
  • Khmer (Cambodian)
  • Cape Verdean Creole
  • Russian

…and 300+ more. Taika translates and interprets in 300+ languages through 5,000+ vetted linguists — from the languages above to rare, Indigenous, and emerging languages most vendors can't staff. See every language we translate, or request your language — if your community speaks it, we can serve it.

Taika

  • Translation + interpretation + Section 508/ADA in one contract
  • A named team that answers the phone

What we love that Rhode Island is doing

Rhode Island is investing in language access.

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

Rhode Island Judiciary court language-access reforms

Rhode Island's courts provide free, competent interpreters in all proceedings and translate forms and website content into Spanish, Portuguese, Khmer, and Cape Verdean — reforms the U.S. DOJ recognized by closing its case.
