SAN DIEGO - s4story -- Interpreters Unlimited (IU), a San Diego based Language Solutions Integrator (LSI) providing interpretation and translation services nationwide, has been named to the San Diego Business Journal's 2026 Companies That Care list, recognizing the company's longstanding commitment to making a positive impact both through its work and beyond it.

For more than 55 years, Interpreters Unlimited has helped people overcome language and communication barriers. Every day, the company's network of more than 10,000 linguists helps Limited English Proficient, Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals communicate with healthcare providers, schools, government agencies, legal professionals, businesses and other organizations providing essential services.

That mission is also reflected in a company culture built around giving back. "We are fortunate to do work every day that can make a real difference in someone's life, but we have always believed our responsibility to the communities we serve goes beyond the services we provide," said Shamus Sayed, IU CEO. "Being recognized as a Company That Cares is especially meaningful because giving back has always been an important part of who we are."

One of IU's largest philanthropic initiatives has been its partnership with NORAD Tracks Santa. In 2025, the company expanded pro bono live interpreter access for the program from eight languages to more than 200 through its virtual interpretation platform. The expanded language access helped make the annual tradition more accessible to families around the world, regardless of the language they speak.

Closer to home, IU supports PATH San Diego, whose programs provide housing assistance, outreach and other essential resources to individuals experiencing homelessness. PATH San Diego reported helping nearly 8,000 San Diegans access critical resources in 2025, including helping more than 1,000 people secure housing.

IU has supported or worked with organizations including the San Diego Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House, Alzheimer's & Dementia Resource Center, Junior Achievement of San Diego County and more.

We are proud of what our team does, and we are honored to be included among San Diego companies that share that commitment."
