About Us

The Language Exchange, Inc
. began in 1986 as a one-woman operation.  After 4 years in South America, college degrees for Universidad Catolica and the University of Washington and doctoral degree work at University of St. Andrews, Scotland and University of Texas, Austin, Jaye Stover took up residence in rural Skagit County, Washington. 

Before long county offices began asking for her assistance with Spanish-speaking clients.  Washington State began Interpreter Certification and Jaye became certified as a Court and Social Service Interpreter.  As demand grew for professional interpreting in all languages, Jaye began to teach interpreting techniques to bilingual people to ready them for a variety of assignments.  Today The Language Exchange works with over 1000 interpreters of some 35 languages and continues to provide training for those who wish to take certification exams. 

An office staff of 13 schedules hundreds of appointments per week and includes a separate Translation Division.  We hold a federal GSA contract for certified translation services and continue to expand our translation services in many states and counties, primarily for business, education and law.  We are still located in northwest Washington and are HUBZone, Minority-Owned and Diversity Business Certified.  The Language Exchange, Inc. is a member of the Burlington Chamber of Commerce.

We are committed to educating the public about professional translation and interpreting and belong to American Translators Association, National Association of Judiciary Translators and Interpreters, Northwest Translators and Interpreters Society and Washington Interpreters and Translators Society.  We also stress “smart work” through technology, having had written custom software programs to select linguists for the services requested.  Our “turn-over” is low, which tells you that we love our work, run a good show and are here for the duration!  Try us out!
