Portuguese interpretation services
Brazilian or European Portuguese — we pick the one in the room.
Portuguese at a glance
Brazilian and European Portuguese differ in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. We default to Brazilian Portuguese for US healthcare and legal work, and European Portuguese for EU-facing engagements.
Brazilian and European Portuguese sound immediately different to speakers. They diverge in pronunciation, pronoun use, and everyday vocabulary, so we default to Brazilian Portuguese for US work and European Portuguese for Portugal- and EU-facing engagements.

Four ways to work with a Portuguese interpreter
Pick the modality that fits the conversation. Every one draws on the same vetted roster and the same standards.

A Portuguese interpreter joins your call on demand, with no scheduling, apps or equipment. Built for short, urgent conversations.
Video remote
See each other while a Portuguese interpreter works on screen: clinical visits, depositions and anything where expression or documents matter.
In person
A Portuguese interpreter in the room for appointments, hearings, admissions and site visits where presence matters.
Meetings & events
Simultaneous or consecutive Portuguese interpretation for board meetings, trainings, town halls and conferences.
Where Portuguese interpretation is needed most
We match each request on language, dialect and setting, because a good rendering of a diagnosis or a court instruction takes more than fluency.
