Kaplan Interpreting Services provides credentialed interpreters across Bakersfield, California and the surrounding Kern County region. Our interpreters work Kern County Superior Court, the Bakersfield federal venues, and the regional administrative hearing offices.

Bakersfield has large Spanish-speaking populations including strong Mexican, indigenous-language (Mixtec, Zapotec, Triqui), and Punjabi-speaking communities. Ag and workers comp work is heavy. The local economy is anchored by agriculture and ag-tech, oil and energy, healthcare (Kern Medical, Adventist Health Bakersfield), and the regional ag-business base, and our assignments span every one of those settings.
