San Bernardino County interpreters, valley to desert

San Bernardino County is the largest county by area in the contiguous United States, stretching from the Inland Empire cities of Ontario, Fontana, Rialto, and San Bernardino up through the Cajon Pass to the High Desert and out to the Nevada and Arizona borders. Our headquarters in Victorville is inside the county, which is why we can treat assignments here as local work rather than an out-of-area trip.

The county is our home market in every sense. San Bernardino County is among our clients, as is Patton State Hospital, and our interpreters regularly appear at the downtown San Bernardino justice center and the courthouses in Rancho Cucamonga, Fontana, and Victorville; at the county medical center and the academic health system in Loma Linda; and at school districts, colleges, and social service offices across the valley.

Logistics is the Inland Empire's signature industry, and the warehouses and distribution centers along Interstates 10, 15, and 215 employ a workforce that speaks Spanish first and a dozen other languages besides. We interpret for safety trainings, HR investigations, and workers' compensation evaluations, and translate handbooks, safety signage, and benefits materials so employees understand them the first time.

Spanish leads every request list in the county, followed by Tagalog, Arabic, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, Punjabi, and American Sign Language. On-site interpreters arrive 15 minutes early and are matched to the setting; phone and video interpreting through the Focus VRI app are available around the clock for after-hours admissions, walk-ins, and rare languages. Public agencies can contract with us through our California DGS micro business certification and CMAS contract.
