Hints
Hints provide additional instructions for call processing and data collection.
The location of the hint will vary depending on the display view.

Dial-Outs
Proceed to offer a dial-out on every call unless there is a restriction indicated in the Alert Note. You can
place domestic and international dial-outs using InterpreterConnect.

Offer a dial-out by using the following script:

“Is your customer with you or do you need me to call them for you?”

There are 2 types of dial-outs you can make for our Clients: single dial-out or multiple-party dial-out.

1. A Single dial-out is when you are calling one person to be added to the existing call with you and the
Client.

2. A Multiple-party dial-out is when you need to add multiple people to the same call with you and the
Client.
Placing a Dial-Out
Gather any information from the Client that you need to relay to the party who may be answering or
voicemail message, if applicable. Say to the Client, “Please hold for your dial-out”.

6. The connected party now appears in the connections area. If you reach the voicemail, leave the
message in the target language.

Single Dial-Outs to Different LEPs on the Same Client Call

You can process as many single dial-outs as the Client needs on a call. For example, A Client calls and
notifies you he needs to contact 4 different patients separately. The Client will provide you with the phone
number and information for each patient.

Follow these steps when the Client is requesting dial-outs to different LEPs on the same Client call:
1. Dial out the number provided by the Client and follow instructions.
2. TAP the red phone to disconnect when the call ends.
3. Continue to follow the instructions provided by the Client for each
dial-out needed.

Multiple Party Dial-Outs


You can add up to 5 parties to the same call with you and the Client when the Client needs to dial out and
have multiple parties connected at the same time to the existing call.

these steps to add the following parties:

The following images are just two examples of a failed dial-out.

Get Assistance
InterpreterConnect allows you to transfer the Client to another department. You will provide a warm
transfer to the Client, meaning you will talk to the answering person before transferring.

A warm transfer allows you to provide details about the Client’s situation to the Customer Agent (CA)
while the Client is still on hold. This provides your colleague with the information needed to better assist
the Client as soon as you complete the transfer.

You will need to transfer the Client to a Customer Agent (CA) if:
• The Client needs an Interpreter for a different language.

• The Client requests a different gender to interpret the call.

• The Interpreter is experiencing technical issues with the system but is still able to use the transfer
function.

• The Client has a request for something other than interpretation, such as billing questions,
supervisor/commendations, renew contract, and other services offered by LanguageLine.

4. Once the Call Agent answers the call introduce yourself by using the following script:

5. TAP “Transfer”.

you to leave the call or if the Client does not end the call by hanging up on their end.

1. TAP “More”.
2. TAP “End Call”. 3. TAP “OK”. TAP “Cancel” if you do
not want to disconnect the call.

seconds, the system will automatically make you “Available” again. You can also make yourself
“Available” before the ACW ends by tapping the state bar and selecting “Available”.

o Obtain the LEP’s response.
o Leave the message IN ENGLISH on the Client’s voicemail.
o Inform the LEP that you have or have not been able to leave a message in English
and say goodbye to the LEP.
Note: You may have limited time to leave a message for the Client in English. It is important that you
leave some sort of actionable message in English for the Client. At a minimum, be sure to state the LEP’s
name and contact information in addition to the purpose of the call.

2. Client-specific Direct Response Call Flows. Some Direct Response call flows have been set up to
intentionally reach a voicemail account. Follow these steps:
o You receive a call and hear the whisper prompt with specific instructions on how to obtain
information from the LEP for the sole purpose of leaving a voice message.
o Follow the prompt instructions.
o Listen to the voice message for instructions on information needed.
o Obtain the information from the LEP.
o Interpret the message IN ENGLISH for the voicemail recording.
o Inform the LEP that you have or have not been able to leave a message in English
and say goodbye to the LEP.

Important Practices:
• The Whisper prompt is the indicator that you will be handling a Direct Response call.
• Always follow the directions as provided in the whisper prompt since the wording can vary.
• Remain on hold with the LEP until the representative joins the call. The expected behavior is for
us to remain on hold for the representative to take the call.
• Once you are automatically conferenced, greet the Client, let them know you are the interpreter by
providing your full name, language, ID, and inform the Client their (language) speaking customer
is on the line with you.
• In the case you are not automatically redirected to the Client within two to three minutes and do
not hear a dial tone or hear dead air, kindly ask the LEP to hang up and call the same number
again.
• If the Client puts you on hold, please wait as per Interpreter Guidelines and Procedure as you did
with any other call.
• The Opening Statement Disclosure is not said on Direct Response calls.

Telehealth Calls
Telehealth calls are just another type of call where clients call using their preferred third-party
conferencing platform. You can receive this type of call through the InterpreterConnect system. There is
no change in how to process these calls, and they will come in as any other call.

If a Client advises you to hang up and call a different number, or join an external website to provide
interpretation outside of InterpreterConnect, DO NOT HANG UP and do not dial the other number or join
an external website provided. All calls and interpretation must be made through the InterpreterConnect
system on behalf of LanguageLine.
