Orange County interpreting, on-site and on demand

From the courthouses in Santa Ana to hospitals in Orange, business parks in Irvine, and the Little Saigon community, Focus Interpreting matches certified interpreters to the languages Orange County actually speaks.

About this area

How we serve Orange County

Orange County is home to Little Saigon in Westminster and Garden Grove, one of the largest Vietnamese communities outside Vietnam, and Vietnamese is the language we are asked for most often here after Spanish. Korean communities in Garden Grove, Buena Park, and Fullerton, the Arab American community in Anaheim, and Mandarin-, Tagalog-, and Farsi-speaking families across the county round out a language mix that is different from Los Angeles next door.

Our interpreters work throughout the county: at the courthouses in Santa Ana, Westminster, Fullerton, and Newport Beach; at regional medical centers and children's hospitals; in Irvine's technology and business parks; and in school districts from Anaheim to San Clemente. The Orange County Transportation Authority and El Pollo Loco are among the local organizations we have served, and our interpreters are certified in accordance with national standards, HIPAA-trained, and on site 15 minutes early.

Orange County employers also drive demand for written work. We translate employee handbooks, safety materials, patient forms, and marketing content into Vietnamese, Spanish, Korean, and Chinese, and our desktop publishing team lays out the translated files so they match the original. For customer-facing products, website and software localization keep terminology consistent across every language.

When an in-person interpreter is not the right fit, phone interpreting and the patented Focus VRI app put a live interpreter on any smartphone or tablet within minutes, 24 hours a day. For a clinic in Mission Viejo handling a walk-in or an HR team in Irvine with a late-day meeting, that is often the fastest and most economical option, and the same coordinator arranges both.
