Italian interpreting & translation services

Italian is spoken by about 68 million people in Italy, southern Switzerland, and San Marino, and by a large Italian American community with deep roots in California. Interpreting requests in the state come from business and legal matters with Italian companies, entertainment and fashion industry events, medical appointments for visitors and older residents, and immigration cases.

Standard Italian is understood throughout Italy, though regional languages and dialects remain in everyday use, particularly among older speakers. Our interpreters work in consecutive mode for meetings and appointments and in simultaneous mode for conferences, and they are briefed on the subject matter in advance.

Certified Italian translation is in especially high demand for citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis) applications, which require translated and often apostilled U.S. vital records for Italian consulates, and for Italian civil documents, diplomas, and court records submitted to U.S. agencies. We prepare these to the formatting and certification standards the receiving office expects.
