About CIT

CIT was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 2010. What we do is in our DNA. We started by serving the translation and interpreting needs of court systems and law firms in California. We quickly grew to provide legal translations to law firms and state governments throughout the country. Our expert service and high-caliber native translations gave us a reputation as the best company to translate hard to find languages.

Our company is dedicated to racial diversity and cultural awareness.  Empowering our employees to grow and make decisions that affect the company validates this commitment to a diverse business. The very nature of our translating underscores diversity by assisting our clients in overcoming the language barriers of those they serve. We are privileged to work with translators and interpreters from countries around the globe who have enriched our lives through their professionalism and shared experiences. CIT continues to grow as a leader in our industry because we are grateful for our opportunities and remain true to our commitments.

Experts In Rare and Indigenous Languages

CIT has an extensive network of interpreters and translators all over the country, ready to translate even the most hard to find languages.  Bad translations can affect the outcome of a court case, prevent someone from getting a job, invalidate a contract, result in harmful medical treatment, and many more potentially life changing situations. Our interpreters are native speakers, and we use translators in both languages for important documents and website localization to ensure both languages have a native speaker and are entirely accurate.

Always Accessible

Communication is perpetual and does not follow business hours, so neither do we. We have 24-hour customer service seven days a week and are ready to provide last minute interpreting and translations. We are even available on holidays when necessary, so you can always find the translation services you require. We believe it is our obligation to be available when our clients need us.

Competitive Rates 

We commit to customer satisfaction and good service. Competitive pricing is essential to good customer service, and we always strive to have the best translation rates in the business. We are constantly testing our rates against other companies, so if you have found better rates, please let us know so we can do our best to beat them.

Pro Bono Language Access

We provide pro bono language access to refugees in various situations worldwide. We are currently providing free interpreting and translations to Ukrainians who need assistance. Please call us if you need more information about this program.
