FAQs

Common Questions About Hiring an Interpreter

Do you cover states outside the metros listed here?

Yes. Alongside the city pages we keep state coverage pages where clients ask for a whole state rather than one city: Ohio (Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati), New Jersey (Newark to Trenton) Texas (Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio), and Georgia. Video remote covers the rest of the country from the same roster.

What types of interpreters does Kaplan provide?

We provide court-certified, medical-certified, conference, simultaneous, consecutive, ASL, and remote interpreters across 200+ languages. Each interpreter is credentialed for the specific setting and matched to the assignment by subject-matter expertise, dialect, and prior proceeding-type experience.

How do you choose the right interpreter for an assignment?

Our intake process captures case or event type, language pair, dialect, setting, technical requirements, and any special protocols. Interpreters are matched by credentials, subject-matter expertise, and prior experience in that exact context. Not by who is available first.

Do you provide interpreters in cities not listed above?

Yes. We provide in-person interpreters in every major U.S. metropolitan area, plus video remote and over-the-phone interpretation for any city in the country. The 34 cities listed above are where we have established local benches, so short notice is usually workable.

How quickly can you confirm an interpreter?

We confirm interpreter availability within 4 hours of receiving your request. For high-volume languages like Spanish in major metros, short notice is usually workable. For specialized languages or remote regions, 24-48 hours notice ensures the best match.

How much do interpreting services cost?

Pricing depends on language pair, type of assignment, location, duration, and modality. We provide detailed transparent quotes after understanding your specific requirements. Request a quote or call (833) 547-7770.

Do your interpreters also translate documents?

They are separate professions, and we staff both. An interpreter is credentialed for live spoken work; a translator is credentialed for written text and issues a certificate of accuracy. Our certified document translation runs as its own service so a single matter can have the hearing interpreted and the exhibits translated without a second vendor.
