Letter from the President
To my potential clients;
English has long been the Lingua Franca of business around the world; forcing global corporations to spend large amounts of money teaching English to their staff. Less has been done on the part of American and British organizations to learn the languages of their potential trading partners. Those that do, rush their associates through language courses, running the risk of incomplete comprehension that can lead to poor communication.
In the United States, the problem is compounded by the growing population of people with limited English. According to a study published in the Minnesota Business Journal in 2003, the non-English population in the United States is estimated to be in excess of 7.7 million. This creates a vast hole in the marketplace, people that you can’t reach through English-only means. While English as a Second Language (ESL) programs are suffering budget cuts, organizations recognize the need to reach these people. The evolving global economy demands more resources for English-speaking service providers and their clients. In fact, demand for interpretation and translation services has grown at an explosive rate of 25% per year due to the increase of immigration, the changing nature of the work force, reduction in welfare benefits to immigrants and the tightening of the labor market.
Dialog One, LLC can fill that gap for you. We provide Interpretation and Translation services to support agencies and corporate accounts in our efforts to build cross-cultural understanding and relationships locally, nationally and abroad. Our integrated language solution offers access to 150 languages 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We have packages that provide a linkage through our interpreters and translators on your schedule featuring your choice of on-demand or pre-scheduled sessions.
We focus on our mission so that you can focus on yours. We continue to add languages to our portfolio of 150, and we actively engage in continued education and accreditation so that we can accurately convey your message and that you are certain of what your customers are telling you.
There are several options through our company because we work with cutting-edge technology. You can either pre-schedule multiple interpretation sessions or request immediate sessions over the phone. We translate your documents, and verify their accuracy before sending them on to your customers. Our systems integrate interactive PBX telephony, customer relationship management software and internet solutions to provide the appropriate technology platform. Our leadership team is committed to bringing high-levels of innovation and dynamism to the next generation of cultural mediation services.
I welcome you to our site, and invite you join us as partners in our venture to cross over cultural divides. Remember, “Just Say The Word.”
Sincerely,

"Dialog" comes from the Greek word "dialogos.” The Greeks used this term to describe the philosophical discussions that occurred between Socrates and Plato. These philosophers considered meaningful dialogue to be an ideal—something not easily attainable. They understood that dialogue requires ideas to be communicated in a format clearly understood by others. It is often said that "dialog" is the "glue" or "cement" that holds people and societies together. Historically, meaningful dialogue occurred whenever people used a common language to communicate their thoughts and ideas. As globalization increases, and the use of multiple languages arises along with the potential for misunderstanding and miscommunication.
The word “one” not only describes itself as a united front, it also means “many in body, one in mind.” This word represents the unity to deploy value and harmony for each respective community in our society. Not only does the company name describe our “one” humanistic principal to provide services, but it also makes a clear distinction of our “one” purpose to serve our “one” community to our “many” customers.
