Book an interpreterThe language
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.
Typical German bookings
Visits held by video
Each card is a kind of visit that clinics hold with the interpreter on a screen. Cards that have a page of their own link to it.
The visit runs on the clinic's own telehealth platform, and the interpreter is added as a guest.
Typical sessions
The interpreter appears on a tablet next to the doctor and the patient, which helps when no interpreter for the language works nearby.
Typical sessions
Therapists hold weekly sessions by video, and the clinic can ask for the same interpreter each week.
Typical sessions
The psychiatrist evaluates the patient by video, and the interpreter interprets the patient's answers as they are given.
Typical sessions
Some examiners take the history interview by video, and the interpreter interprets for the claimant while the examiner asks about work and injury.
Typical sessions
Some examiners hold psychological evaluations and follow-up interviews by video where they allow it, and the clinic that schedules the exam books the interpreter.
Typical sessions
Clinic visits on video
Clinics use video in two ways. In a telehealth visit, the doctor and the patient are in different places, and the interpreter joins the same call as a guest. In an exam room visit, the patient and the doctor sit together and the interpreter appears on a tablet. Video also fits when no interpreter for the language works near the clinic, since interpreters join from anywhere in the US.
The doctor or nurse practitioner leads the visit, and the patient answers and asks questions. A nurse or medical assistant may join to measure or take notes, and a relative may sit next to the patient. The interpreter is on the screen and interprets for everyone who speaks, so the relative can follow the doctor as well.
The interpreter's job on the screen is the same as in the room, to make the visit as clear as one held in a single language. A patient's question gets the same full interpretation as the doctor's, and the speaker waits at the end of each part so nothing is cut. The interpreter stays neutral, does not advise the patient, and keeps the visit confidential.
On a telehealth call
Add the link and notes to the booking, such as the doctor's name, the kind of visit and any terms the interpreter should know. Send the same link to the patient and to anyone who will join, because the interpreter joins that link as a guest. A telehealth follow-up takes longer with an interpreter, so book a little more than the usual slot.
On-site, video or phone
Video works when the patient or the doctor is somewhere else. In the cases below, another setting is the better choice.
Book an interpreter in person for a procedure, or for a patient who finds screens hard to use.
On-Site Interpretation for Medical ClinicsVideo suits telehealth visits and exam room visits in a language that no interpreter near the clinic speaks.
Phone suits patients without video and short calls about results or medicines.

Can't find it here?
Ask for a Texliff room link when you book, and we add it to the project so you can send it to the patient and the doctor. It opens in a browser with nothing to install.
Yes, healthcare customers can have a BAA. Every session is under an NDA, and connections are encrypted.
Yes. Anyone with the meeting link can join, and the interpreter interprets for them in the same session.
Video visits are charged by the booked hour, with the total shown before you pay. Unused time is not refunded, because the interpreter is reserved for the whole booking, so book the full visit slot.
Name the interpreter in the booking notes. We book the service rather than a particular person, so we take the request into account and assign them when they are available.
70 languages. Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, Korean and Haitian Creole are the easiest to book. A rare language such as Burmese or Pashto needs more notice, and the interpreter can join from any state.
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.
