FAQs

Boston Interpreter Questions

Do you provide on-site and remote interpreters for depositions in Boston?

Yes. We staff on-site interpreters across Greater Boston as well as remote video and telephone interpreters for depositions, examinations under oath, and witness preparation. For multi-party or multi-day matters we place the same interpreter throughout so terminology stays consistent. Tell us the venue, language, and dates and we will confirm coverage.

Can you provide simultaneous interpretation with equipment for a Boston conference or board meeting?

Yes. We provide simultaneous interpreters with booths, receivers, and headsets for conferences, summits, board meetings and trade shows at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, the Hynes, Kendall Square campuses, and Back Bay hotel venues, plus consecutive interpreters for smaller sessions and negotiations. We coordinate the equipment and the interpreter team together. Share the agenda, languages, and audience size at /get-a-quote/.

Are your certified Boston document translations accepted by USCIS and the courts?

Yes. Our certified translations are accepted by Massachusetts courts, USCIS, and government agencies, and each comes with a signed certificate of accuracy. We translate legal filings, immigration paperwork, medical records, and business contracts for Boston law firms, healthcare organizations, and corporate teams. We confirm the turnaround in writing with your quote, so the delivery date is settled before any work starts.

How quickly can you provide an interpreter in Boston?

Boston assignments are scheduled from our Northeast network, so we ask for a few days' notice on in-person work in the less common languages and confirm remote work sooner. For standard assignments we recommend 48 hours' notice for the best match. Check availability or call (833) 547-7770.

What languages are most requested in Boston?

The most requested languages in Boston include Spanish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Cape Verdean Creole, Haitian Creole, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian, Khmer. We cover 200+ languages in total, including the community languages that appear in Greater Boston legal and medical work more often each year.

Do your interpreters know Boston court procedures?

Yes. Our interpreters are familiar with the District of Massachusetts at the Moakley Courthouse, Suffolk Superior Court, and Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn and Lowell, the local rules, and courtroom protocols. We send credential packets in advance to prevent delays at the door.

Do you interpret for life sciences companies and universities in Cambridge?

Yes. Partner meetings, clinical site visits, investor sessions and training are common Cambridge assignments. We match interpreters by subject matter as well as language, brief them on the terminology beforehand, and staff simultaneous teams with equipment for larger sessions.

Do you cover the suburbs and the North and South Shore as well as Boston itself?

Yes. We cover Suffolk, Middlesex, Norfolk and Essex counties: Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Quincy, Waltham, Lowell, Lynn and the surrounding towns. Worcester and Providence are scheduled on request, and video remote covers the rest of New England.

Do you handle Portuguese and Cape Verdean Creole separately?

Yes, and we ask which one at intake. Greater Boston has one of the largest Brazilian Portuguese communities in the country and a long-standing Cape Verdean community, and Cape Verdean Creole is its own language, not a dialect of Portuguese. The same applies to Haitian Creole and French. Confirming the actual language before the assignment is what keeps the appointment from being lost in the room.

How much do interpreter services cost in Boston?

Pricing varies by language, assignment type, location, and duration. We provide written quotes within 4 hours. Check availability or call (833) 547-7770.
