First-ever Free Over-the-phone Interpretation Service For Limited English Speakers Comes to Southern California

Language Line Services and AT&T team up to connect culturally diverse population with nation's businesses

Los Angeles — (January 19, 2007) — Southern California’s growing population of limited English speaking consumers will now find it easier to communicate with businesses and independently conduct their day-to-day affairs thanks to Your World. Your Language SM, which launches in Southern California today. This first, free over-the-phone interpretation service created by Language Line Services, the global leader of language interpretation, and powered by AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), provides limited English speaking consumers with telephone-based interpreters to access banking, insurance, telephone, utility and other vital business services within their local metro areas.

By simply dialing 1-888-855-0811, limited English speakers, including tourists and immigrants to the U.S., can talk in their own languages to a host of key businesses. Callers reach an easy-to-navigate menu that first prompts them to select their preferred language and then a particular business category to call. A specially trained Language Line Services interpreter then joins the line, connects the caller to the selected business and remains on the line to carry out communication between the consumer and the business’ English-speaking customer representative.

“Imagine that you are a small business owner in Long Beach, and speak little or no English, and you want to apply for a loan to make investments in your business. You’d naturally prefer to conduct the transaction in your own language to make sure everything is just right,” said Louis Provenzano Language Line Services’ president and chief operating officer. “Until now, your options were very limited. But today a whole new era of communication has opened up, thanks to Your World. Your Language.”

According to the Census Bureau, every 31 seconds someone who speaks little if any English enters the United States. Provenzano noted that most immigrants enter into tight multilingual communities with niche economies where they only need limited English. As a result, they have difficulty conducting business outside of their neighborhoods and accessing vital community services without the assistance of English speaking friends and family members.

Limited English speaking residents in Southern California will find that Your World. Your Language. is a new way to get things done quickly, easily and independently,” said Jody Garcia, Vice President of Specialty Customer Care for AT&T West. “Whether it is signing up for video services, opening a bank account or getting a new wireless phone, Your World. Your Language. gives limited English speakers more control over their day-to-day lives.”

Your World. Your Language. currently serves customers in eight languages including: Cantonese (Chinese), Japanese, Korean, Mandarin (Chinese), Russian, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese. Originally launched in San Francisco, the telephone-based interpretation service is now available to limited English-speakers throughout Southern California, and will roll out nationwide by the close of 2008.

Language Line Services developed the patent-pending technology that makes Your World. Your Language. possible, and provides the specially trained and experienced interpreters. AT&T operates the network, and is responsible for the routing of calls through Your World. Your Language’s toll-free number.

Sample banking, credit card, insurance, health, telephone, utility, travel, transportation, city and social service organizations signed on to offer their services to Southern California’s limited-English speakers through Your World. Your Language include: 1-800-DENTIST®, AT&T, Cingular Wireless, , Citibank, Dish Network, and Orbitz. For more information about Your World. Your Language. visit www.YourWorldYourLanguage.com
