Certified Translation And Interpretation Services in California
While CanTalk's professional translators and interpreters provide reliably accurate work no matter the context, certain circumstances require certified translation and interpretation services.
Certified translations are stamped and signed by a credentialed translator as well as accompanied by a letter of certification. They guarantee a word-for-word document translation and are often required in official settings such as government offices, academic institutions, and courts of law. Common documents requiring certified translation in California include marriage/birth/death certificates, academic transcripts, visa applications, documents used in legal proceedings, and more.
Likewise, certified interpretation may be required for official purposes and must be carried out by an interpreter who has passed a rigorous certification exam administered by an independent entity.
If you require certified translation or interpretive services in California, CanTalk can help. Inform us of your needs, and we’ll ensure that your official language service requirements are met expediently and with professionalism.
At CanTalk, we offer a wide range of language services and are always willing to be flexible and reimagine them in new ways according to your needs. Some of our most popular services include:
Professional Interpretation Services

Whether accessed in person or via phone or mobile device, they erase language barriers in the moment and pave the way for organic and meaningful communications between various parties for a wide range of purposes.

FAQ
What is document translation?
Document translation describes the written transcription of a document from its original language (source language) to another (target language). Skillful translation involves a superior mastery of both languages as well as the sensitivity to consider culturally and geographically relevant references and touchpoints (known as localization).
Can I translate my own documents?
Unless you happen to be a certified translator, translating your own documents is not recommended. Though it may be tempting to simply copy and paste a document into an electronic translation service and hit the print button, this is a risky and ill-advised approach.
At best, an electronic translation may result in an intelligible but awkward text that lacks a human voice. At worst, your finished product may be offensive, culturally insensitive, or even completely unintelligible. For a quality outcome, it's always best to trust a certified human translator.
What languages does CanTalk interpret and translate?
CanTalk offers professional HUMAN driven translation and interpretive services in more than 220 languages. These include African languages, East Asian & Pacific languages, East Indian languages, Middle Eastern languages, Western and Eastern European languages, and a wide variety of Indigenous languages.
