History
Established in 1986.
The Language Exchange, Inc. began in 1986 as a one-woman operation. After 4 years in South America, degrees from Universidad Catolica and University of Washington and Ph.D. work at University of St. Andrews, Scotland and University of Texas, Austin, Jaye Stover moved to Burlington. County offices asked for assistance with Spanish-speaking clients. Washington State began Interpreter Certification and Jaye became certified as a Court and Social Service Interpreter in 1992. As demand grew for professional interpreting in all languages, Jaye began to teach interpreting techniques to bilingual people preparing for state interpreter certification exams. The Language Exchange works with 400 interpreters of 60 languages. Seven office staff work in the office scheduling, bidding, doing project management and invoicing in either the Interpreting (spoken language) Department or Translation (written language) Department.
