One of the best things that you can find in an Apple Store is the multiculturalism of its components. I have never encountered a problem for people with different languages to be served in their mother tongue by a store assistant. Now the company also wants to start incorporating workers with the ability to make themselves understood by deaf people. Apple will go incorporating sign language interpreters in stores.
Apple is expanding the availability of sign language interpreters in its stores around the world, allowing deaf and hard of hearing customers to access individual appointments, Today at Apple sessions and more. The project started at its Carnegie Library flagship store in Washington, DC., in 2019, and sometimes provides similar services to select Today at Apple sessions in person and online. This week the company announced a major expansion of the company's accessibility program.
It is true that Carnegie Library is close to Gallaudet University. The Gallaudet University is the world's only university for advanced learning for deaf and hard of hearing students. No wonder that particular Apple Store was chosen. But now it's expanding and extending the service to other stores, but for now in some selected countries.
Users can hire sign language interpreters at hundreds of Apple Store locations in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK, and the US. The free service it can be ordered through a link on the dedicated web page of a participating store. We assume that it will not take too long to also reach other countries like Spain, because it is an essential service.
