Cal Interpreting & Translations (CIT) is a professional language access agency that offers translation and interpreting services across more than 200 languages. Among these, Western Armenian is a language of special significance due to its endangered status, its global diaspora, and its continued use in courts, hospitals, schools, and business environments. CIT’s Western Armenian translators and interpreters combine linguistic expertise, cultural knowledge, and professional certification to deliver accurate and reliable services.
The Armenian language, part of the Indo-European language family, exists in two modern branches: Eastern Armenian, widely spoken in Armenia and Iran, and Western Armenia, historically rooted in the Ottoman Empire. Today, Western Armenian is maintained mainly within diaspora communities across Lebanon, Syria, France, the United States, and other regions. France and the Middle East in particular remain essential hubs of the Armenian diaspora.
Western Armenian, which uses the traditional Armenian alphabet, has been classified by UNESCO as an endangered language. The preservation of this language makes high-quality interpreting and translation services critical for communities that continue to rely on it in legal, medical, governmental, and educational settings.
CIT provides certified translation services that meet USCIS acceptance requirements for immigration applications, asylum petitions, and naturalization processes.
Western Armenian translators handle birth certificates, marriage licenses, and death certificates. These translations are precise and certified, ensuring that families and individuals can navigate immigration processes, legal filings, and personal documentation needs with full acceptance by the USCIS.
Diplomas, transcripts, and academic records are translated for students and professionals seeking to pursue education or employment abroad. CIT ensures accurate rendering of Armenian academic terminology, maintaining credibility for credential evaluations and admissions.
Contracts, depositions, court judgments, and other legal records are translated by certified professionals familiar with legal terminology. Accuracy and confidentiality are prioritized to meet the needs of attorneys, courts, and government institutions.
Medical records, clinical reports, prescriptions, and informed consent forms are translated to support patients and healthcare providers. CIT ensures HIPAA-compliant handling of all sensitive medical documents.
Western Armenian translators handle contracts, trade agreements, marketing materials, and corporate filings. These translations support international business dealings, particularly in diaspora hubs such as Los Angeles, New York, and Paris.
Dissertations, research papers, and scholarly publications are translated for academic institutions and researchers. CIT supports knowledge sharing across disciplines and international collaborations.
CIT also provides localization services for websites, digital content, and marketing collateral. These services adapt messaging to resonate with Western Armenian-speaking communities while maintaining brand integrity. Each translation is performed by a certified translator and reviewed for accuracy, confidentiality, and cultural competence.
CIT partners with law firms and the U.S. court system to provide court-certified interpreters for hearings, trials, depositions, and immigration law cases. Western Armenian interpreters are trained to ensure accuracy, impartiality, and strict confidentiality, essential for asylum claims, testimony, and attorney-client communication. These services are provided in compliance with Title VI language access requirements.
In the healthcare sector, CIT deploys medical interpreters for patients speaking Western Armenian in hospitals, clinics, and emergency care settings. Our interpreters follow HIPAA regulations, ensuring patient confidentiality while facilitating accurate communication about diagnoses, treatment plans, and informed consent.
For organizations engaged in international trade, cross-border negotiations, and corporate partnerships, CIT provides business interpreters who support meetings, contract reviews, and conferences. These services are crucial in diaspora hubs such as Los Angeles, New York, and Paris, where Western Armenian business networks continue to be active.
CIT also supports government agencies, universities, and school districts. Western Armenian interpreters facilitate parent-teacher conferences, individualized education program (IEP) meetings, and public service communication, ensuring compliance with ADA and Title VI requirements for equal access to language services.
Beyond formal sectors, Western Armenian interpreters also serve nonprofits, cultural organizations, and community programs, supporting language access in cultural preservation initiatives, refugee assistance, and heritage education.
CIT offers flexible service formats to meet client needs:
On-site interpreting for courts, hospitals, and face-to-face meetings
Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) for healthcare, education, and business consultations
Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI) for immediate and on-demand support
This ensures that Western Armenian speakers have access to interpreting services regardless of location or urgency.
Western Armenian interpreting requires not only linguistic fluency but also a deep understanding of cultural nuances.
