Experience The Difference

Our culture is one that celebrates every small achievement and views each interaction as an opportunity to improve, streamline processes, eliminate waste, and build meaningful connections.
 

We thrive because our innovations, born of creative hard work, are making a difference in the world...one community at a time.
 

To that end, we guarantee satisfaction with every interpretation and translation Volatia provides. If you are not satisfied, we will provide another session of the equivalent value at no cost to you.

Vision

Our vision is a world with no language barriers.

Mission

Our mission is to faithfully bridge language barriers

Why

Worldwide, language barriers limit access to essential services and create enormous disparities. Volatia exists because we believe that the ability to communicate is a core human right. Thus, we do all in our power to ensure that those with language barriers have equal access to public information and services, the opportunity to self-express, and the right to be heard.

Our Service Plans

Customize and manage the cost of your language access program 

Recommended

Annual Plan

This plan is designed for organizations and individuals with a set budget for language services and generally offers more services for less because of the price commitment and early payment. 

Pay-As-You Go

Only pay for what you use. The pay as-you-go model is designed for organizations and individuals who have no dedicated budget for language services or those who do not know how often the services will be needed. 

Hybrid Plan

The Hybrid option is designed for organizations and individuals who want the benefit lower pricing that comes with the annual plan but don't have enough budget to cover their annual needs. Once their budget is spent, a pay-as you-go model is then implemented.

School systems are able to increase participation from parents and guardians through the use of professional interpreters and translators, resulting in equitable learning outcomes for their students.

Government

At every level of government, interpreters and translators are the key to engaging everyone and ensuring that all stakeholders have equitable access to notifications and delivery of services available to them.

Healthcare systems that guarantee professional medical interpreters and translators increase accuracy, reduce risk, improve patient satisfaction, and support better health for their communities.

Legal

Law firms and court systems can ensure compliance by providing communications that are appropriate for each individual through the use of professional legal interpreters and translators.

Financial

Banks and other financial institutions must ensure that their clients understand loan or service terms and repayment requirements.

Utility Companies

A language access program helps Utility companies to easily set up service or support appointments, handle disputes, or provide customer service in a manner that does not frustrate their customers and stress their staff.

Insurance Agencies

A language access program helps insurance companies to provide coverage that is tailored to the true needs of their customers.

Nonprofit Organizations

Language barriers affect the brand of nonprofit businesses by limiting their impact. Interpreters and translators are the answer to equitable communications.
