Thuringia Continues to Invest in Interpreter Program - Thuringia Extends Digital Interpretation Program to 2026, Offering 54 Languages

Thuringia's Migration Ministry has extended its digital interpretation program until 2026, offering services in 54 languages, including rare ones like Swahili or Tigre. The program, which has facilitated over 70,000 conversations in two years, is part of the state's effort to reduce language barriers in government offices and advisory centers.

The interpreter service is available via video or audio calls, making it accessible even in rural regions where professional interpreters may not be readily available. The program's extension until the end of 2026 ensures continued support for those facing language barriers.

Thuringia is investing one million euros annually to fund this initiative. Despite extensive searches, no information was found regarding the name of the head of the Migration Ministry or the specific entity financing the interpretation program.

The extended digital interpretation program in Thuringia will continue to provide crucial language support, benefiting over 70,000 users in the past two years. The annual investment of one million euros underscores the state's commitment to breaking down language barriers and fostering inclusivity.
