Client Feedback

What Our Clients Say

"Most of our French-speaking asylum clients are from the DRC, Ivory Coast, and Cameroon. Kaplan understands that African French is not Parisian French. Their interpreters connect with our clients culturally and linguistically, it transforms the quality of asylum hearings."

J

Jean-Baptiste Okoro

Immigration Attorney, New York

"We needed simultaneous French-English interpretation for a three-day international pharma conference. Kaplan provided booth interpreters with deep scientific vocabulary. The French delegates said the interpretation was indistinguishable from a native presentation."

D

Dr. Claire Beaumont

Conference Director, Washington D.C.

"A law firm confused Haitian Creole with French and wasted an entire deposition. We switched to Kaplan, who confirmed the language up front and sent the right Haitian Creole interpreter. That kind of diligence is why they handle all our cases now."

FAQs

French Interpretation Questions

How quickly can you provide a French interpreter?
French is a high-demand language with immediate availability in New York, Washington D.C., Miami, and other major metros. For European and African French variants, we can deploy same-day in most cities. We recommend 48 hours' notice for optimal matching on specialized assignments.
Is Haitian Creole the same as French?
No. Haitian Creole is a distinct language, not a dialect of French. While it has French-derived vocabulary, the grammar, syntax, and much of the vocabulary are different. A French interpreter cannot reliably interpret for a Haitian Creole speaker. Courts and medical facilities must provide the correct language. We offer both French and Haitian Creole interpretation.
Do you match French interpreters by regional variant?
Yes. We match interpreters to European, Canadian, or African French as needed. This is especially important for immigration proceedings involving clients from Francophone African countries, where vocabulary and expressions differ from European French. We confirm the client's country of origin to ensure proper matching.
How much do French interpreter services cost?
Pricing varies by regional variant, assignment type, duration, and location. We provide transparent quotes within 4 hours. Check availability or call (833) 547-7770.
Do you provide French interpreters for diplomatic and government settings?
Yes. We provide high-level French interpretation for diplomatic events, government agency meetings, international conferences, and UN-related functions. Our conference interpreters are experienced in simultaneous interpretation and hold appropriate security clearances where required.
