The interpreter routing finally got me to the right person

AI-generated summary

Language routing helped a resident reach the correct office without relying on a child to translate.

Story Details

In April 2026, I called from Beechview about a city services appointment and asked for Spanish. The City of Pittsburgh language access routing system sent me to the right interpreter and resident services worker on the first try.

The difference was practical. I did not have to put my child on the phone, and I did not have to explain private information twice. The interpreter confirmed the appointment time and the documents I needed. I still want the city to explain how language requests are routed, but this time the system helped me reach a person who could actually help.
