Book an interpreterThe language
Japanese interpretation is heavy in patent depositions, M&A, Toyota / Honda / Nissan supplier audits, and pharma FDA / PMDA joint inspections.
Typical Japanese bookings
Joining by video
On video, the interpreter and some of the people in the conversation are not in the building. Where a card has a page of its own, it links to that page for video.
The unit joins the link on a tablet or cart, and the interpreter interprets for the doctor or nurse at the patient's bed.
Typical sessions
A relative in another city or country opens the same link, so the family hears the update together with the patient.
Typical sessions
Once the patient is home, the hospital's clinic follows up by video, and the interpreter joins the visit as a guest.
Typical sessions
Before the patient leaves, the nurse goes over home care on the unit's tablet or cart, and the interpreter on the screen interprets each instruction.
Typical sessions
The psychiatrist and the patient stay on the unit while the interpreter joins by video and renders the patient's answers as they are given.
Typical sessions
The surgeon describes a procedure to the patient, and the interpreter on the screen interprets each risk and each question before the patient decides.
Typical sessions
Video at the bedside
Hospitals use video when no interpreter for the language works near the building, or when a relative needs to join from another city. The unit opens the meeting link on a tablet or cart at the patient's bed, and the interpreter joins as a guest from anywhere in the US. The doctors, the nurses and the patient stay together in the room, and only the interpreter is on the screen. Video is also used for telehealth follow-ups after discharge.
The doctor or nurse speaks with the patient in the room, and the interpreter is on the screen of the tablet or cart. A relative can open the same link from another place and listen in as family, and the unit decides who else joins. The interpreter interprets for the care team, the patient and the relative, one speaker at a time.
On the screen, the interpreter does the same work as in the room. Every part is interpreted in full, in both directions, and a relative's question is interpreted like the patient's. The doctor or nurse waits after each part, so nothing is cut short. The interpreter is neutral, gives no advice and no summary, and keeps the visit confidential.
On the tablet
Put the meeting link in the dashboard before the visit, and open it on the unit's tablet or cart a little before the booked time. The interpreter joins as a guest, so the patient and the staff stay where they are. Each part is said twice, once in each language, so a bedside visit with many questions needs more booked time than one in English.
On-site, video or phone
Video brings in an interpreter who is not near the hospital. In the cases below, a different setting works better.
Book an interpreter in person for a long family meeting or a unit with a weak connection.
On-Site Interpretation for HospitalsVideo suits bedside visits when the language is hard to cover locally, and visits where relatives join from another place.
Phone suits a short call to a patient or a relative when no one needs to see the other person.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
Yes, on Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet. If your system cannot add a guest, we create a Texliff room link and add it to the project.
Each booking is for English and one other language, with one interpreter. A relative who speaks a third language needs a second booking, and both can use the same link.
No. Sessions are not recorded unless you ask, and connections are encrypted.
A video visit is priced by the hour, and you see the total before paying. Unused time is not refunded, because the interpreter is reserved for the whole booking, so book the time the visit needs.
You can ask for it in the booking notes. A booking is for the service, not for a particular interpreter, so we take the request into account and assign them when they are available.
70 languages. Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Tagalog and Haitian Creole are the easiest to schedule. Rare languages such as Pashto or Burmese need more notice, and the interpreter can join from any state.
Yes. Court-certified and medically credentialed Japanese 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.
Other languages
