Qualified Legal Interpreters for Every Situation

Depositions

Interpreting during depositions requires a high level of linguistic accuracy and legal fluency, as well as the subject-matter knowledge at issue in various areas of law. At Translation Station, our interpreters are trained to handle the complex, often technical language used in depositions, ensuring that every word is conveyed with precision and neutrality. Whether in-person or remote, we provide certified legal interpreters who are experienced in supporting attorneys, court reporters, and all parties involved in pre-trial discovery.

Courtroom Proceedings

Courtroom interpretation requires far more than fluency; it demands a deep understanding of legal procedures, specialized terminology, courtroom protocol, and the nuances of nonverbal communication. At Translation Station, we provide certified legal interpreters who are expertly trained to work in all types of court settings. Our interpreters strictly adhere to professional codes of ethics and uphold the highest standards of accuracy, confidentiality, and impartiality – ensuring every proceeding is conducted with integrity and clarity.

Electronic Discovery

Accurate translation during the discovery process is essential to building a strong legal case. At Translation Station, we provide professional language solutions for multilingual document review – including contracts, evidence, emails, transcripts, and other case-related materials. Our linguists are trained in legal terminology and deliver precise translations that preserve meaning, tone, and context. We can also provide scalable technology that integrates seamlessly with eDiscovery platforms, enabling efficient workflows, faster turnaround times, and better collaboration across legal teams.

Legal Interpreter Qualifications

At Translation Station, we recognize that effective legal interpretation services requires specialized knowledge, terminology, and language. Our team will match you with a qualified legal interpreter who has a strong bilingual grasp of legal terminology, as well as the subject-matter at issue in your case. Beyond legal qualifications, our rigorous quality assurance process evaluates interpreters based on several key criteria, including:

Linguistic Mastery

Our interpreters are nearly all native speakers of the target language, skilled at adapting any message and its meaning within the context of cultural nuances such as slang and non-verbal cues. Our interpreters come from the communities which they serve, ensuring clear communication in all legal settings.

Experience and Certifications

Our interpreters set the standard for excellence, and many hold prestigious credentials from nationally recognized organizations, including the Federal Court Interpreter Certification Examination (FCICE) credential or state level equivalents, and the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID).

Verified and Screened Interpreters

Our interpreters undergo rigorous vetting to ensure full compliance and trustworthiness. This includes comprehensive criminal background screenings. These stringent measures help ensure that every interpreter we provide is qualified, reliable, and cleared to work in legal settings.

Subject-Matter Expertise

Our skilled language professionals possess grasp of legal terminology, and whenever possible, expertise in the subject-matter at issue in your case, ensuring accuracy and cultural competency.

Ethics and Confidentiality

We uphold the highest standards of ethics and confidentiality. Every interpreter must sign a strict confidentiality agreement and completes specialized training to ensure full compliance with interpreter ethics and confidentiality.

Cultural Competency

Our interpreters, fluent in over 250 languages, excel in cultural competency because they come from the communities they serve. Our interpreters understand the customs and traditions of their communities, ensuring that no nuance is lost, or inadvertently added, to critical communications.

Most Often Utilized Language Services in the Legal Industry

Onsite Interpretation

In many cases, the Rules of Evidence require interpreters to be physically present in the courtroom – just like any testifying witness. This allows the interpreter to be properly sworn in, observed by the court, ensuring the accuracy of the record and upholding due process. In high-stakes proceedings where every word matters, in-person interpretation helps convey the most probative value possible – supporting the integrity and fairness of the judicial process.

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)

Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) offers a flexible, efficient alternative when in-person interpretation is impractical or impossible. While not a substitute in all legal settings, VRI may be permitted by some courts in specific proceedings. It enables real-time communication while maintaining a high standard of accuracy and confidentiality, supporting access to justice even under challenging logistical circumstances.

Translation and Localization

Our certified translation services offer fast, accurate results in over 250 languages. With certified translators who bring deep subject-matter expertise – and a team committed to speed, accuracy, and cultural relevance – we help ensure that your legal documents are reliable and admissible.
