HOUSTON, Oct. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- GlobalSpeak Translations was on hand to offer simultaneous interpretations for the Houston mayoral debate this past Friday. On October 11, 2019 the GlobalSpeak team facilitated translation services, opening up the political proceedings to a wider audience, supporting the participation of Houston's diverse and multilingual population.
In the midst of a heated mayoral race here in Houston, political debates and candidate testimonies are an integral part of determining who might forge the direction of the next few years for the United State's fourth largest city. With over 145 different languages spoken in Houston and, according to some statistics, between 35%-45% of Houstonians speaking a language other than English at home, the need for accurate and readily available translations is apparent.
GlobalSpeak Translations was honored to provide these services, and takes pride in facilitating a wider understanding of the political scene as it unfolds throughout this years debates and conversations. Working with Telemundo Houston, GlobalSpeak and the local branch of the major Spanish-language broadcast network live streamed events in Spanish as an effort to help communities stay connected, informed, and up to date on the city's political affairs.
"As professional interpreters, we must always remain politically neutral, yet impassionately deliver the emotional messages of the candidates." — Flor Dimassi, CEO
