Spanish interpreting & translation services

Spanish is by far the most requested language for interpreting and translation in California. More than one in four Californians speak Spanish at home, and Spanish-speaking patients, claimants, students, and customers are present in every hospital, court, school district, and workplace in the state. Spanish is a California court-designated language, and Focus Interpreting's Spanish interpreters are court-certified, medically qualified, and HIPAA-trained.

Most Spanish speakers in California trace their roots to Mexico, with significant Salvadoran, Guatemalan, Honduran, and South American communities as well. Regional vocabulary differs, especially for medical, automotive, and workplace terms, and our interpreters are experienced in the neutral, professional register expected in depositions, workers' compensation hearings, qualified medical evaluations, independent medical examinations, parent-teacher conferences, and safety training.

Certified Spanish translation is the most requested written service in California: birth and marriage certificates, court documents, medical records, employee handbooks, safety manuals, benefits notices, patient education, and marketing content. We translate into neutral Latin American Spanish by default and into Castilian Spanish for Spain on request, with desktop publishing that keeps the layout of the original document intact.
