For businesses
Language work for people whose deadlines are set by a court, a regulator or a broadcast schedule.
Tango Federal started in Miami in 2019 translating case files, immigration packets and public notices for firms and agencies that could not afford a mistake. Today the same account managers sit in Coral Gables, and behind them runs a production line that works around the clock.

What changes with a production line
You still deal with one person. That person has a factory behind them.
A firm quote within the hour
Send the files and where the translation will be filed or published. You get a price and a delivery date, not a call-back request.
One account manager, in Coral Gables
A named person in your time zone who knows your matters, your terminology and your deadlines. Production runs behind them around the clock.
Certified where it counts
Every certified translation ships with a signed certificate of accuracy that meets USCIS requirements and is accepted by Florida courts and agencies.
Proof, not adjectives
Ask for the back-translation report and you get one: an independent linguist's rendering of your document back into English, with discrepancies logged and resolved.
Law firms & legal teams
Certified when it has to be. Fast when the docket says so.
Firms in Miami-Dade and Broward work in two or three languages by default. Filings need a certificate of accuracy, a deposition needs a transcript the other side cannot pick apart, and a discovery set in Spanish or Portuguese has to be triaged before the deadline, not after it.
The pressure
- Certification and admissibility
- Filings need a certificate of accuracy, consistent terminology across the whole matter, and a defensible record of who produced what.
- The clock belongs to the court
- A hearing does not move because the translation vendor is busy. Same-day rush on standard documents is a requirement, not a favor.
- Privilege and confidentiality
- Material under privilege cannot be pasted into a consumer tool, and clients increasingly ask exactly where it went.
What we do about it
- Certified translation with certificates of accuracy, included
- Deposition and hearing transcripts with speaker labels and time codes
- Case-file and discovery translation with matter-level terminology kept consistent
- Remote interpreting for client calls and prep sessions
Immigration attorneys & agencies
USCIS-ready translations, usually back the next morning.
Immigration practices run on volume and deadlines: birth certificates, diplomas, records and supporting statements in Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole and dozens of other languages, every one of them needing a certification USCIS will accept without a question.
The pressure
- Every document, certified, on time
- A packet is only complete when the last certificate is attached. One late translation holds up the entire filing.
- Volume without a volume desk
- A practice with three paralegals cannot manage twenty freelancers. It needs one vendor that absorbs the peaks.
- Languages nobody has on staff
- K'iche', Mam, Haitian Creole, Amharic: the languages that show up in South Florida casework are exactly the ones a local freelancer pool does not cover.
What we do about it
- USCIS-compliant certified translations with signed certificate of accuracy
- Same-day or next-day turnaround on standard civil documents
- Bundled handling of full case packets under one order
- Spanish, Portuguese, Haitian Creole and the indigenous languages of Central America
Healthcare & insurance
Member materials, patient instructions and PHI, handled like PHI.
Health systems, plans and community clinics in Florida carry translation obligations under Section 1557 and CMS on documents where a mistranslation is a clinical and legal event, and where the content cannot legally be pasted into a public AI tool.
The pressure
- Vital documents, non-negotiable accuracy
- Consent forms, discharge instructions, EOBs and appeal rights have to be correct and readable at the mandated level, in every threshold language.
- PHI cannot leave the perimeter
- The moment a document carries patient identifiers, a public model API stops being an option. Our platform runs on our own infrastructure.
- Interpreter demand is spiky
- Encounters do not schedule themselves around interpreter availability, and a missed one becomes a compliance finding.
What we do about it
- Member and patient material translation with medical terminology control
- Readability grading so a translated consent form stays at the required level
- 24/7 OPI and scheduled VRI for the front desk, the clinic and the call center
- Accessible, ADA-compliant PDFs of the translated material
Government, education & nonprofits
Language access is a legal obligation. We treat it like one.
Florida agencies, school districts, universities and community organizations serve residents who speak more than a hundred languages between them. Title VI makes meaningful access a requirement, and the deadlines are set by board meetings, enrollment windows and hurricane season, not by a vendor's queue.
The pressure
- Every notice, every threshold language, at once
- Enrollment packets, benefit notices, emergency communications and public meetings all have to go out together, in formats residents can actually open.
- Procurement moves slowly, incidents do not
- You need a vendor already on file when an emergency notice has to reach every household tonight.
- Records, accessibility and audit
- Translated material is a public record: retained, retrievable, Section 508-compatible and defensible if someone asks how it was produced.
What we do about it
- Threshold-language translation of public notices, forms and web content
- Live and post-production captioning for public meetings and recordings
- Remote interpreting for hearings, appointments and parent meetings
- Vendor registration and the paperwork your procurement office requires
Media, studios & broadcasters
Subtitles and captions that pass platform QC the first time.
Miami is a media capital and subtitling is where most of Tango Federal's volume comes from: series, news, sports and corporate content for streaming and broadcast, delivered against platform specifications that do not forgive a reading-speed violation.
In production today. Broadcast and streaming clients, including a national Spanish-language network, make up the largest share of our production today.
Send a sample episodeThe pressure
- Platform specs are the contract
- Reading speed, line length, shot changes and format are checked by the platform before anyone watches the show. A rejected file costs a day.
- Volume arrives in seasons
- Forty episodes land in the same week. A vendor has to absorb that without re-quoting every batch.
- One transcript, many outputs
- Same-language captions, subtitles in six languages and a dubbing script should come from one verified source, not three vendors.
What we do about it
- Multilingual subtitling and same-language closed captioning in every delivery format
- Verified transcription and script translation
- AI dubbing and voice-over with linguist sign-off
- Platform-specific QC before delivery, so the file lands once
Growing companies
Sell to South Florida, and from it, in every language your customers speak.
Companies expanding across Miami-Dade or across the Americas need websites, catalogs, HR policies, training and marketing that read as if they were written in the target language, on a retainer that does not require a quote for every file.
The pressure
- Marketing copy adapted, not converted
- A campaign that reads translated does not sell. Adaptation needs a linguist who writes, and a reviewer who reads like the customer.
- The HR and compliance stack in two languages
- Handbooks, safety briefings, policies and training have to land with the workforce you actually have.
- A retainer, not a re-quote
- Ongoing work needs a fixed process, one account manager and a monthly invoice, not a new estimate every Tuesday.
What we do about it
- Website and marketing localization with cultural adaptation
- HR, training, safety and compliance documents
- E-commerce catalogs and product content, connected to your CMS where possible
- Monthly retainers with itemized reporting
Turnaround you can plan around
