What is Tarjimly Hotline?

The Tarjimly Hotline is an Internet-free solution that allows beneficiaries to call a phone number from a landline or cell phone to connect directly with a Tarjimly interpreter.

Why was Tarjimly Hotline developed?

Tarjimly Hotline was developed in response to immigration attorneys working with immigrants in detention centers at the US southern border where cell phones were not permitted in the facilities. The pro bono attorneys needed to be connected to interpreters when meeting with their clients, but had to use the landlines available at the detention centers to do so.

What do Tarjimly volunteers see when receiving a Hotline request?

Tarjimly volunteers see an incoming phone call from Tarjimly. Answering will directly connect a volunteer on a call where they will be expected to provide interpretation. This means that answering the call is like accepting an interpretation session on the Tarjimly app.

Hotline calls often last 30 minutes or more, so before answering, volunteers should make sure that they have sufficient time to commit.
