Translation Service in San Francisco
San Francisco speaks a lot of languages. Walk into any hospital waiting room or courthouse hallway and you'll hear it — Spanish, Cantonese, Farsi, sometimes three or four languages in the same ten minutes. Businesses run into this constantly too. And honestly, a phone app translation just doesn't hold up when something actually matters. That's the whole reason Arabic Language Service exists. We run a translation service in San Francisco that covers a lot of ground — heavy focus on Arabic, but Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin, and a dozen others too.
Languages We Cover
Here's the list. This is our full translation service in San Francisco lineup, and every language on it gets a native or near-native speaker, not just someone who's "pretty fluent."
Spanish. Hebrew. Farsi. Dari. Cantonese. Berber. Armenian. Creole. Mandarin. Haitian. Pashto. Hindi. Turkish. Urdu. Arabic. Portuguese.
Legal doc that needs certifying? Medical visit that needs a live interpreter? Business contract where the wording actually has to be right? We cover all of it, across this whole list.
Why People Pick Us Over the Big Agencies
Most translation agencies list forty languages on their homepage and then quietly route almost everything through the same two or three people. You find that out the hard way once you need something outside Spanish or Mandarin. We don't work that way — every language on our list has its own dedicated native speakers, including the ones agencies usually skip, like Dari, Pashto, Berber.
People keep coming back to our translation service in San Francisco, and honestly it comes down to one thing: the work holds up. Certified docs that USCIS actually accepts. Court translations that don't get questioned. Medical forms where getting one word wrong could actually hurt someone.
What We Actually Translate
A few categories, each done to the standard it needs.
Legal stuff — contracts, affidavits, court filings, immigration paperwork. Certified, accepted, done right.
Medical — patient forms, consent paperwork, live interpreters for clinics and hospitals dealing with patients who don't speak English.
Business — contracts, marketing material, internal docs, for companies working across language lines here in the Bay.
Personal — birth certificates, diplomas, whatever paperwork visa or immigration processes need certified.
How It Works
We match your document to someone who actually works in that language natively — and if it's legal or medical, someone who knows that specific subject too. Then it gets reviewed before it goes out, because one unreviewed pass misses the small stuff, and the small stuff is usually what matters most on official paperwork.
Turnaround depends on length and language, but most stuff's done in a few business days. Need it faster for something urgent? We can usually make that happen. As a translation service in San Francisco people rely on when timing actually matters, we'd rather tell you the real timeline than promise something we can't hit.
Less common language, like Berber or Dari or Haitian Creole? We still keep dedicated people for those, so you're not waiting three weeks because nobody on staff speaks it. That's a real problem at bigger agencies — we've just built around it.
