Interpreters and Certified Translators for Every Language

Pick the language, then pick the service. The same background-checked linguist network sits behind all of them.

Interpreting comes in three modes. Telephone interpreting connects you to a linguist in minutes, which is what an ER intake in Chicago or a 2 a.m. customer call usually needs. Video remote interpreting works well for USCIS interview prep and telehealth. On-site interpreting is the right call for depositions, court hearings and parent-teacher conferences, where body language carries part of the meaning.

Written work runs through our document translation team: native speakers of the target language, checked by a second qualified linguist. When a document is headed to USCIS, a court or a university, we issue it as a certified translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Hospitals and health systems also use us to meet Title VI and Section 1557 language access obligations, in any of the 326 languages listed here.

Rare Languages and Hard-to-Find Dialects

Most agencies can staff the top 30 languages. The real test is the harder request: a Quiche speaker from Guatemala at an immigration court hearing, a Tigrinya-speaking patient in a Seattle clinic, a Chamorro document for a family in Guam. We actively recruit rare-language linguists for exactly these cases, and immigration attorneys and public agencies make up a large share of the work.

We are honest about the limits too. For a handful of very rare language pairs, written translation routes through English as a relay step, and an interpreting assignment may pair two linguists. When that applies we say so before you book — not after. Dialect matters as well: a speaker of Sudanese Arabic is not always well served by a standard Arabic interpreter, so tell us the country and region and we will match to the variety, not just the language.

Language Coverage FAQs

Quick answers on languages, dialects and certified translation.

How many languages does Prism Linguistics cover?
We cover 326 languages and dialects across the United States. That includes high-demand languages such as Spanish, Mandarin, Arabic, Vietnamese, Tagalog and Haitian Creole, along with hundreds of African, Asian, European, Indigenous American and Pacific languages that are much harder to source.
Which Arabic or Chinese variant should I book?
It depends on the speaker. For Arabic, tell us the country the person is from and we will match a linguist to that regional variety rather than defaulting to Modern Standard Arabic. For Chinese, Mandarin is the most widely spoken variety, while many families from Guangdong and Hong Kong speak Cantonese. If you are not sure, tell us what you know and we will help you work it out.
Can I get a certified translation in any language?
In most cases, yes. We prepare certified translations with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy in the form USCIS, courts and universities expect. For a small number of very rare languages the translation may route through English as a relay step, and we tell you up front when that applies. Acceptance ultimately depends on the receiving institution.
What is the difference between an interpreter and a translator?
An interpreter works with spoken language, in person, by phone or over video. A translator works with written documents, such as a birth certificate for a USCIS filing or a contract for a business deal. Many of our linguists do both, but we always match the assignment to the right skill.
What if the language I need is not on the list?
Contact us anyway. The directory on this page is not the full extent of our network, and we add languages and dialects as demand appears. Tell us the language, the setting and the date, and we will tell you honestly whether we can cover it and how quickly.
Do you cover regional dialects, not just standard languages?
Yes. Dialect can decide whether an appointment works. An interpreter who speaks standard Arabic may not suit a speaker of Sudanese Arabic, and Quechua varies by region, so we match linguists to the dialect wherever it makes a difference to understanding.
