Our Services

What We Do

Remote Video & Telephonic Interpretation

Language barriers can get in the way of critical communication. Don't let physical distance create further roadblocks. Connect with our trained interpreters over the phone or virtually via video on your preferred platform.

Written Translation

We can translate a document or review/edit a document that has already been translated. Our expertise ranges from Individual Education Program (IEPs) to professional presentations. A notarized certificate of translation can be provided upon request.

Event & Conference Interpretation

For a conference, public hearing, large meeting or event, we provide professional simultaneous interpretation. An interpreter communicates the message to audience members with limited English proficiency on-site or virtually.

On-Demand Interpretation

Dial up on any phone and enter the language needed to connect in minutes with a professional interpreter to help communicate with one or more parties over the phone. This service is available on-demand, 24/7/365.

On-Site Oral Interpretation

Our most popular service, On-Site Oral Interpretation, is provided by a certified interpreter at an in-person appointment or meeting. This is the recommended interpretation method for the most effective communication.

“They have been great and always willing to help. I have been working with some of their interpreters since I started and they often help me reach out to the leads to help me schedule the in-home [visits].”

Boston Public Schools has been using CIS to provide interpretation services to the district for over 10 years, and we are satisfied with their performance. The interpreters are professional and skillful, and the CIS scheduling team is quick to respond, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.

Allen DowlingDirector of Translation & Interpretation

In the last 6 months, CIS has provided interpreters for almost 2,000 Unemployment Insurance Hearings at DUA in at least 20 different languages. . .Their interpreters are always professional and proficient in their language and the CIS scheduling team is very friendly and amenable to our needs. I'm happy to recommend Community Interpreter Services at Catholic Charities of Boston.

Marisa de la PazDirector of the Office of Multilingual Services

Not only are their interpreters top-notch, but their customer service is incredibly helpful. They make the process of finding virtual or in-person interpretation very straightforward. I strongly recommend Community Interpreter Services and I am looking forward to continuing to work with them for all our interpretation and translation needs.
