Breaking Language Barriers: How Language World Empowers AAPI-Owned Businesses

In a world that thrives on diversity and multiculturalism, the ability to communicate effectively across languages is paramount. For many AAPI-owned businesses, language barriers can present significant challenges in navigating legal, regulatory, and public safety matters. However, thanks to Language World and its founder Bill Glasser, these barriers are being dismantled, offering a lifeline of support to businesses across California.

Bill Glasser’s journey towards founding Language World is a testament to his passion for language accessibility and multicultural understanding. Born in Madrid, Spain, Glasser later moved to Los Angeles, where he pursued a bachelor’s of arts degree at the University of California, Los Angeles, majoring in Political Science and minoring in Spanish. His early career saw him working as an interpreter for an attorney’s office, honing his skills in bridging linguistic gaps.

Upon relocating to Sacramento and departing from the Sacramento Bee, Glasser co-founded Spanish World, which has since evolved into Language World. What began as a service primarily catering to Spanish speakers quickly expanded into a multilingual company, becoming a trusted resource for businesses, including prominent institutions like Kaiser Permanente, Dignity Health, and Sutter Medical.

Language World’s impact extends beyond corporate realms, especially in light of increased crimes targeting small businesses and the subsequent need for accurate translations and interpretations in crucial conversations with public safety officials. AAPI-owned businesses, often facing language barriers, found solace in Language World’s expertise, enabling smoother interactions with legal entities and enhancing their ability to seize new opportunities.

Today, Language World stands as a symbol of support for AAPI business owners seeking to overcome language obstacles. Their services not only facilitate communication with legal and regulatory bodies but also opens doors to untapped opportunities that language barriers might otherwise obscure. “What I could do for them is provide remote interpreting through our online portal–we have something called Pay as you Go,” said Language World Founder Bill Glasser. “That would be a way for a small business to get interpreting services when they need, where they need it, and how they need it.” Glasser’s profound belief in the transformative power of language underscores Language World’s commitment to fostering inclusivity and empowerment within California’s diverse business landscape.

For AAPI business owners whose primary language isn’t English, Language World and Bill Glasser offer a vital lifeline. “We would love to be that–as an interpreter to help not only translate but also to explain,” said Glasser. By leveraging their expertise, businesses can break free from linguistic constraints and harness the full potential of their operations. Don’t let language barriers limit your business growth – seize the opportunity with Language World today.
