Tagalog interpretation services
Tagalog and Taglish, the way people actually speak.
Tagalog at a glance
Tagalog (and its national-standard form, Filipino) is among the most-requested languages in US healthcare. We staff Filipino-American interpreters fluent in both Tagalog and English code-switching patterns.
Real-world Tagalog conversation moves fluidly in and out of English. That code-switching — Taglish — is the natural register for many speakers, and our interpreters are comfortable in it while keeping the record clear and complete in formal settings.
Tagalog has around 85 million speakers in the Philippines and abroad. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
