Mandarin Interpreters in San Francisco

San Francisco is a beautiful city filled with culture and diversity. Much of this diversity comes from the Chinese immigrants residing in the Bay Area. With Mandarin being such a widely spoken language in the city, the request for a Mandarin interpreter in San Francisco comes as no surprise. Every day, more and more requests for a Mandarin interpreter are on the rise. CIT is here to provide you with those interpreting services at the most cost-effective prices.

Chinese Immigration to San Francisco

Driven by poverty, hunger, and harsh economic conditions, Chinese immigrants fled California in the 1840s. They first found themselves in San Francisco, CA, and upon arrival, most of them found work in railroad construction, mining, and agriculture.

After the 1965 Immigration Act, many Chinese immigrants seeking refuge continued to come and settle in San Francisco’s Chinatown revitalizing the area and creating new Chinese neighborhoods. Chinatown has retained its Chinese culture ever since them and continues to do so through its residents and tourists.

San Francisco’s Chinatown

Established in 1853, the nation’s oldest Chinatown can be found in San Francisco, California. This community spans over about 24 blocks in the city and through five different postal codes. It has been extremely influential in the history and culture of Chinese immigrants in North America. Chinatown retains its customs, languages, places of worship, social clubs, and identity. In Chinatown, you will find hospitals, parks, churches, laundries, a post office, and many other businesses.

Many recent older immigrants choose to live in Chinatown due to its affordability and culture. Chinatown is also a major tourist attraction for people all throughout the United States.

Court Certified Mandarin Interpreters

With the large population of Mandarin speakers in San Francisco, there is an ever-increasing demand for legal Mandarin interpreters. Being court-certified means they took the necessary courses and passed the exams to certify that they are qualified to an interpreter in the legal field. They have extensive knowledge of legal terminology and are able to perform both consecutive and simultaneous interpretations.

Medically Certified Mandarin Interpreters

When it comes to healthcare, just because someone does not speak English does not mean they shouldn’t get proper care or not be able to communicate with their doctor, examiner, or healthcare worker. Medically certified Mandarin interpreters play a huge role in easing the flow of communication between the Mandarin speaker and the healthcare worker. They are highly trained and well versed in medical terminology needed for any medical appointment.
