We truly appreciated receiving a grant from the Illinois Green Business Association. Having better lighting in our office, has improved the look and feel of the space.

We’re moving downtown to highlight another of our businesses that received a 2026 Intuit Green Grant, Metaphrasis!

Metaphrasis has been providing professional interpretation, translation, transcription, voice-over, Braille, and multilingual (180 languages!) communication services in Chicago since 2007.

By updating her lighting to LEDs, Elizabeth can run her business more efficiently and save money, all while “creating a cleaner, more polished environment” for her clients and guests.

Now that the Olympic Games have come to a close, the medals have been awarded and the final flags lowered, but the spirit of global connection remains.

Throughout the Games, nations came together in the spirit of competition, unity, and excellence. Behind every moment, every anthem, every interview, and every celebration was one essential element: communication.

Athletes may speak different languages. Coaches may train across continents. Fans cheer from every corner of the globe. Yet understanding connects them all.

At Metaphrasis Language & Cultural Solutions, we know that language access is more than words. It is about inclusion, opportunity, and making sure every voice is heard. Whether on a global stage or in your local community, everyone deserves to be understood.

The Games may have ended, but the need for connection never does.

🌎 Because when communication is clear, collaboration wins.

As we step into a new year, many of us set goals for growth, impact, and connection.

But how often do we stop to think about language goals?

At Metaphrasis Language & Cultural Solutions, we believe language access is foundational to equity, safety, and understanding.

As you plan for the year ahead, ask yourself:
• Who might be excluded if language access isn’t prioritized?
• How does language shape trust in your workplace or community?
• What would true understanding look like in the spaces you serve?

New year. New goals. Let’s make language part of the conversation.

What are your language goals this year?

New year. Same mission.

At Metaphrasis, we believe Everyone Deserves to Be Understood. A new year brings new opportunities to listen, connect, and build inclusive communities where language is never a barrier.

Start the year with clear communication. Learn how our language services empower understanding and connection.
