AFLS - A Foreign language solution

Translation and Interpreting
Company Story

about a foreign language service in phoenix
We would love to share with you a little about us and our story! A Foreign Language Solution (AFLS) came into existence when the City of Chandler, Arizona Police Department asked one of the co-founders, Kajia Wen, to provide interpreting services in Mandarin. The department sought to conduct a criminal investigation of a computer component theft ring at Intel in 1994, and they needed the services of a language interpreter. Consequently, from this initial consulting opportunity, Kajia received more requests for translation and interpreting services.

Expanding Our Services

These requests grew steadily and for that reason a small business formed. Co-founder Bill Peters brought with him a love of different cultures and connections within the local community. As a result, he proved to be a natural at locating and qualifying interpreters from various backgrounds. So much so, that there was no language specialist that Bill could not find! This talent helped to lead to the expansion of the business. As a result, A Foreign language Solution (AFLS) came to serve the behavioral health, medical, legal and general business fields.

Finding A Home

By May of 2000, the need for additional staff grew, and we hired a bookkeeper and our first office coordinator. In 2001, we leased an office in Gilbert, AZ, with a small staff of four people. Then, due to increased demand for our interpretation and translation services, we moved to a new location in Mesa, AZ and expanded the AFLS Team to 9 people. For over 29 years now, the AFLS Team has provided exceptional interpretation and translation services, along with ASL contract services to our clients around the Phoenix Valley, across Arizona, and nationwide. We pride ourselves on having a team dedicated to upholding our high standards of excellence in customer service and integrity. These values have allowed us to become a recognized leader in our industry. Please read some of the many testimonials that we have received about the AFLS Team and our interpreters and translators. We look forward to helping to meet your language needs!
