German interpretation is mostly boardroom, M&A, patent litigation and technical audits. We cover both Swiss German (with an interpreter from Switzerland) and Austrian German as specialty dialect requests.

Agencies book an interpreter on video for these assignments. The cards with a link go to the page for that session by video.
The interpreter joins the platform your reporter set up and is sworn in on the record before the witness answers.
Typical sessions
The interpreter joins the arbitration link as a guest and interprets for the party or the witness who speaks another language.
Typical sessions
The interpreter joins the remote hearing and interprets for the injured worker, and your hearing reporter takes down the record.

Agency bookings by video
Agencies book a video interpreter when the witness, counsel and the reporter join from different places. It is also the choice when no interpreter for the language works near the witness, because interpreters join from anywhere in the US. The agency adds the proceeding's link to the booking, and the interpreter joins it as a guest, on the platform the proceeding already uses.
Your reporter keeps the record and swears in both the interpreter and the witness. The attorneys ask questions and make objections, and the witness answers through the interpreter, who joins the same call as a guest. In an arbitration the arbitrator runs the session, and in a workers' compensation hearing it is the judge.
The interpreter's job is to make the questions and answers as clear as they would be in one language, so your reporter takes down the witness's full testimony in English. Every question and every answer is interpreted in full. The interpreter is neutral and keeps what they hear confidential. They never explain a question or add to an answer.
For your record
Add the proceeding's link to the booking as soon as you have it, and put the case name, the witness's name and any exhibit list in the notes. A proceeding that runs several days is booked one day at a time, and you can ask for the same interpreter on each day.
On-site, video or phone
Video fits proceedings where the people are in different places. The other two settings work better in the cases below.
Book an interpreter in person when the witness sits in your deposition room or has trouble hearing on a call.
On-Site Interpretation for Court Reporting AgenciesVideo suits an assignment with the participants in different cities, when the platform is set up and the link is ready.
Phone is not used for depositions. Book on-site or video for the assignments your reporters cover.

Can't find it here?
Yes. Add the link to the booking, and the interpreter joins as a guest at the booked time. Without a link, we create a Texliff room and add it to your project.
No, unless you ask. Your reporter's record of the testimony is separate, and every session is covered by an NDA.
No. One booking is for English and one other language, so book one session for each language. Both bookings can use the same link.
The state and the board, because some boards keep their own list of approved interpreters. Add the claim or case name to the notes.
The rate is by the hour, and the total for the booked hours shows before you pay. An interpreted proceeding runs longer than one in English, so book the extra time, because unused time is not refunded.
70 languages. Spanish, Mandarin, Haitian Creole, Portuguese and Tagalog are among the easiest to schedule. Rare languages need more notice.
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed German interpreters are assigned to legal and clinical matters — Federal Court Interpreter Certification, state court rosters, CCHI / NBCMI for medical. For community, educational and corporate settings we assign professionally trained interpreters matched to the subject.
Swiss German spoken dialects are mutually difficult for Standard German speakers; Swiss written German is Standard but uses ß-less orthography. Austrian German uses distinct administrative terminology.
