In-Person Interpretation
What do our clients love about Arriva interpreters?
We keep detailed notes on every interpreter, every job, and the elements that are most important to you, our client.
It’s the Arriva Guarantee: our interpreters are always certified, always professional, and always show up ten minutes in advance. We know there’s nothing good about waiting for your interpreter to arrive, uncertain if he or she is up to the task that can make or break your case.
Our standards are high, and we’re proud of our standards of excellence, treating both our clients and interpreters with the same devotion and care. We keep detailed notes on every interpreter, every job, and the elements that are most important to you, our client. (In other words: you won’t wind up with that one interpreter who for some reason is always, always available!)
Our highly-reviewed interpreters serve insurance companies, law firms, court-reporting firms, and other organizations. We’ll find an Arriva-approved, certified interpreter for the language you need for arbitrations, mediations, court appearances, depositions, medical assignments, and client meetings.

- Every language you need
- Following all safety protocols for in-person work: mask,

“We live at the level of our language. Whatever we can articulate we can imagine

“I have been working with Arriva Translations and Vicky Canedy since 2007. This agency has always been respectful of interpreters; they have never quibbled over rates and have never made me feel as if I have to compete for jobs by lowering my rates and standards. This shows me that they value the work I do and are not only looking to increase their profits by quoting clients a high price, but then paying the interpreter a low rate. Many agencies do that, thereby creating an unhealthy reputation for themselves, as well as a strained relationship with the interpreter. I’m very appreciative of, and grateful for, the collaboration I have with Arriva Translations.”

”As the founder and managing partner of a 15 attorney law firm with four offices in California, and having personally practiced both civil litigation and Workers’ Compensation claims defense for over 30 years, I have worked with dozens of interpreting services and hundreds of interpreters in deposition and trial settings. Having that background, I feel qualified to proffer the opinion that the service provided by Arriva Translations is of the highest quality. Victoria Canedy and her team are committed to excellence and have the skills to reach that standard. As the practice of law now requires attorneys to communicate with clients and witnesses who speak a myriad of languages, Arriva provides an essential service. You can rely upon Arriva to find you a qualified interpreter without hassle and at the most competitive rates available.”

”Arriva saves the day! In pro bono and billable legal cases, Victoria and the Arriva Team have responded quickly, accurately, and with utmost professional care in translating foreign documents. Arriva also was available on short notice to certify documents that were “informally” translated so our filings would pass scrutiny by the immigration court. What a relief! I love Arriva’s awareness of the different cultures attached to the languages they speak, and their support for the San Diego Legal Secretaries Association to understand the business needs of legal staff.”

I am confident my staff is getting the answers they need – and they can get those answers as quickly as they need them. Our jobs need to go forward, and Victoria and Arriva help to make sure that happens, even in urgent situations that occur after hours. Arriva is incredibly responsive, and that’s why we can count on them.”

FAQs
Why should we hire interpreters from Arriva Translations?
We have a dedicated calendar department, which means that each time you send an email or pick up the phone, you’re not waiting around for answers. We take all the work of keeping track of the process off your shoulders. It doesn’t make sense for you to add to your work when you can have a professional team doing it for you!
Is my interpreter going to be certified?
Each of our interpreters must get the appropriate certification for the language they speak and the industry/specialization they serve, as demanded by state law. So the answer is yes, most definitely. We have higher expectations for accuracy, professional conduct, and taking good care of everyone involved than general industry standards.
What languages do you interpret or translate?
All the languages you require. You tell us the language, and we’ll find you an interpreter whose certified in that language. As of 2020, our most common requests are for Spanish, and our most unusual are for small indigenous village languages spoken in remote areas of countries such as Mexico.
What kind of criteria helps you choose Arriva interpreters?
When an interpreter seems to be “always” available, we double check their record. Having been in this industry for a long time, we have a database with notes on each interpreter that we keep up to date, so we can track their overall history of customer satisfaction, as well as their certifications, experience, and any special notes.
