Contracted Language Resources
When internal language resources are not available, County employees can also obtain translation or interpretation services from contractors, at a cost paid by their departments. Montgomery County has one contractor each for telephone interpretation, on-site interpretation and written translation.
About Sign Language Interpretation: Montgomery County hires a contractor company to provide sign language interpretations. Since sign language is not an LEP language resource, its details will not be listed on this page. For County employees who need to request sign language interpretations, they can visit this intranet URL for more information.
