Columbia Language Services

Interpreting and Translation in Over 170 Languages

Columbia Language Services has connected clients with professional interpreters and translators since 1994, working in more than 170 languages. The company handles written translation of documents, websites, and business advertising materials, and arranges spoken interpretation, including telephone interpreting, for courts, medical facilities, and government agencies. Clients across Vancouver, Washington and Portland, Oregon turn to the company for both personal and business language needs.

A separate part of the work is certified translation of personal documents often needed for green card applications, citizenship paperwork, guest invitations, and family reunification cases, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, and other official records. This kind of translation is accepted by government agencies reviewing immigration cases.

The company also trains its own interpreters and translators through its own educational resources, part of how it keeps translation quality consistent across such a wide range of languages.
