Tagalog interpreting & translation services

Tagalog is the basis of Filipino, the national language of the Philippines, and is spoken by more than 80 million people worldwide. California has the largest Filipino American population of any state, with major communities in Los Angeles County, the San Diego area, the Bay Area, and the Central Valley. Tagalog is a California court-designated language, and it is consistently among the most requested languages for healthcare, court, and workers' compensation interpreting.

Many Filipinos speak English well, but comfort and precision in a medical consultation, legal proceeding, or benefits interview often depend on the speaker's first language, and everyday speech frequently blends Tagalog and English (Taglish). Our court-certified, HIPAA-trained Tagalog interpreters navigate this naturally. The Philippines has more than 100 regional languages, and we also provide interpreters for Ilocano, Cebuano (Bisaya), and other Philippine languages when Tagalog is not the speaker's first language.

Certified Tagalog translation covers Philippine Statistics Authority birth, marriage, and death certificates, court records, school transcripts, medical files, and employee and patient communications. Tagalog uses the Latin alphabet, which keeps desktop publishing simple, though translated text runs longer than English.
