Our Work

We build international relationships through four major initiatives: establish and maintain sister cities across the globe, organize annual international festivals, arrange a 2-week program for sister city's high school students to improve their English, academic skills, and cultural awareness, and provide translation services.

Translation

Toledo Sister Cities International (TSCI) is able to help individuals, organizations, and companies find prospective translators and or interpreters. Although final arrangements will be made between the individuals, organizations, and companies and the individual translators and or interpreters, TSCI is able to serve as a go-between in arranging this interaction. In the interest of promoting international relations, Toledo Sister Cities International provides this list of interpreters and translators for the following languages: Chinese (Mandarin), German, Japanese, Indian, Polish.
