Language Access Compliance: Regulatory Updates | Q1 2026
Issue #1 | Q1 2026
At the request of our Client Advisory Board, BURG Translations developed this briefing to keep our clients informed about language access requirements that may affect your industries.
If 2025 felt like a difficult year to keep up with…well, it was. New federal legislation and active court settlements all took place in the same 18 months, just as much of the federal guidance (guidance documents, not the underlying statutes) that helps organizations navigate language compliance was formally withdrawn.
This issue covers regulatory changes, new legislation, enforcement actions, and legal developments across healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, and legal services from 2025 through Q1 2026. A small number of items are from late 2024 and are included because they remain active or established enforcement patterns that continue to apply.
