Where Japanese interpretation lands in California

From Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Sacramento to the rest of California, Japanese interpreter bookings cluster around court hearings, medical encounters, and immigration interviews. We confirm the venue, setting, and regional variety up front — so the interpretation lands cleanly in the room.

Our Japanese interpreters work in consecutive and simultaneous modes, on-site or remotely by video (VRI) and phone (OPI). Many are court-qualified or medically experienced, and all follow strict confidentiality and interpreter ethics standards.

Link Translations has connected clients with professional linguists since 1995. If the Japanese specialist you need is not listed in California, our nationwide network and remote options mean we can still staff your project, usually within hours.

I am an independent Japanese language verbal interpreter and written translator based in San Francisco, California. I was born in Japan but moved to S.F. when I was three years old. I was raised speaking Japanese at home, attending regular American schools during the week and a Japanese language school on Saturdays. In addition, I spent a summer and two semesters at a Japanese university, and also lived and worked in Tokyo for over five years as a "salary man". I am thus completely bilingual and bi-cultural.
