Daily News | 85 languages, thousands of translations: City’s new dashboard highlights services to a polyglot Philly
, last week. The interactive site shows detailed data for all of the language services Philadelphians use when they access city services and programs. The data covers the last fiscal year, from July 1, 2021, to June 30, 2022.
Previously, OIA had collected this data from its language service vendors, but it was never put together in a single, streamlined database. Maria Giraldo Gallo, the office’s language access program manager, saw how useful the information could be not only for herself, but for other city officials and the public. She worked with the city’s Office of Innovation and Technology to share the information through the dashboard.
OIA also intends for the dashboard to be a tool for community organizations, journalists, researchers, or any other interested Philadelphian to better understand the city’s diverse communities. Giraldo Gallo pointed to the over 2,000 services provided in Haitian Creole as an example of the database’s utility.
