Quick Answer

How do I hire an interpreter in Minneapolis?

To hire an interpreter in Minneapolis, call Kaplan at (833) 547-7770 or request a quote online. Tell us the setting, the date, the language and the venue or facility, and we assign an interpreter with the credential that setting expects, on site across Hennepin and Ramsey counties or by video nationwide. We say whether a language is on site or on video before the booking is confirmed, not after it.

Somali is not a secondary language in the Twin Cities

Minnesota has the largest Somali community in the United States, concentrated in the Twin Cities, so Somali is a first-rank request here rather than an occasional one. Hmong is long established and large. Oromo and Amharic are distinct languages and an Amharic interpreter cannot cover an Oromo speaker, which is the single most common booking error we see in this metro. Karen arrives through resettlement and is not Burmese. We ask which language the speaker actually uses at home, and we say plainly whether we cover it on site or by video before you confirm.

What the Twin Cities caseload actually looks like

Employment, personal injury and healthcare work dominate, because the metro runs on large health systems, food and agricultural processing, retail head offices and manufacturing. One matter often needs two different interpreters in the same month, one who can hold defined terms steady through a sworn deposition and one who knows the trade vocabulary on a site walkthrough. We staff both from one point of contact rather than making you brief two agencies on the same case.

FAQs

Minneapolis Interpreters Questions

How do I hire an interpreter in Minneapolis?

Call Kaplan at (833) 547-7770 or request a quote. Name the language precisely. Somali, Oromo and Amharic are three different languages and a booking that says East African tells us nothing we can act on. We assign an interpreter with the credential that setting expects, on site across Hennepin and Ramsey counties or by video nationwide.

Do you cover depositions and court work in Minneapolis?

Yes. Hennepin County District Court and Ramsey County District Court run their own interpreter scheduling, so a matter that moves across the river is effectively a new booking. Sworn testimony is not a meeting, so it is staffed on the legal track from the start. See deposition interpreters for read-back and exhibits, and legal interpreters for how the legal track runs.

Do you cover Oromo as well as Amharic?

Yes, and they are not interchangeable. Oromo and Amharic are separate languages, and booking Amharic for an Oromo speaker produces a record that reads as complete and is not. Tell us which one the speaker uses and we will say whether it is on site or by video before you confirm.

Do you cover Saint Paul, Rochester and the rest of Minnesota?

Yes. On site is strongest across the Minneapolis and Saint Paul metro, and we schedule out to Rochester, Duluth and Saint Cloud, with video and phone covering the rest of the state and the country.

Can you support a conference or a multi-room event in Minneapolis?

Yes, and a conference is staffed and equipped differently from a meeting. An event at the Minneapolis Convention Center or a hotel ballroom needs equipment, a sound check before the first session, and two interpreters per language rotating, because accuracy falls after about half an hour of continuous simultaneous work. See conference interpreting.

Can you translate Minneapolis documents as well as interpret?

Yes, and the written side is a separate service. The patient-facing materials, HR policies and workplace investigation notes we see most from this metro go through business document translation, and exhibits and filings through certified legal translation. A good share of the written work here is patient-facing, where the reading level matters as much as the terminology.

Should I book on site or video for an assignment in Minneapolis?

Depositions, courtrooms and independent examinations are in-person work. Video suits a status conference, a therapy session continuing a course of care, or a brief HR meeting. There are two downtowns and two courthouses here, Hennepin and Ramsey, and they are not interchangeable, so name the county when you book. Give us the setting and we will tell you which mode is genuinely available for your date.

How much does an interpreter in Minneapolis cost?

Quoted per assignment rather than from a list, because setting, length, language and notice all move it. We confirm it in writing before the assignment, and we say up front if the language means travel from outside Minneapolis rather than letting that surface on the invoice. Request a quote or call (833) 547-7770.
