Professional Interpreting & Translation
Professional Interpreting & Translation
Serving Minnesota & Beyond
Minnesota Language Bridge connects healthcare, legal, and social service organizations with professional interpreters — so language is never the barrier between someone and what they need.
What We Do
We match trained interpreters to the moment — a clinic visit, a benefits appointment, a phone call that can't wait for someone to find the right words.
Clinic visits, hospital stays, mental health appointments, and follow-up calls — interpreters trained to handle medical terminology with accuracy and care.
Benefits enrollment, housing appointments, school meetings, and case management — helping families access services without a language gap standing in the way.
Court proceedings, attorney meetings, depositions, and legal consultations — precise interpreting where every word carries legal weight, by interpreters credentialed on the Minnesota Judicial Branch roster.
Forms, letters, and written materials translated clearly and accurately, so paperwork never becomes another barrier for the people you serve.
We train bilingual community members into professional interpreters — our 40-hour program covers ethics, terminology, and technique, the industry-standard credential for community and medical interpreting.
How It Works
Why Minnesota Language Bridge
Minnesota Language Bridge was founded on a simple idea: no one should struggle to be understood in a hospital room, a courtroom, or a benefits office. We work directly with organizations to make interpreting reliable, respectful, and easy to request — every time.
Trusted Compliance Standards
Language access in healthcare and government settings is regulated, audited, and reimbursed according to specific standards. We built our operation — and our dispatch technology — around them.
HIPAA training and a signed confidentiality agreement are required before any interpreter's first assignment. Our booking system is built on the minimum-necessary principle — it never collects or transmits medical details.
HHS privacy rule →In-person medical assignments are dispatched only to interpreters enrolled on the Minnesota Department of Health Spoken Language Health Care Interpreter Roster — the requirement for Medical Assistance and MinnesotaCare billing. Enrollment is verified and recorded before an interpreter is activated, and our dispatch system will not offer in-person medical work to anyone without it.
Search the MDH roster →Our services align with the HHS National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services — supporting your organization's health equity and language access obligations.
The 15 CLAS standards →Interpreters working through MLB practise under the National Council on Interpreting in Health Care's code of ethics and standards of practice — accuracy, impartiality, and professional boundaries.
Read the code of ethics →Court and legal assignments are dispatched only to interpreters credentialed on the Minnesota Judicial Branch Statewide Roster of Court Interpreters — our system will not offer legal work to anyone without that credential.
View the court roster →Our data handling aligns with the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act — with every dispatch action recorded in an auditable log.
