Interpretation

Ukrainian interpretation services

Ukrainian, not Russian. We do not swap them.

About the language

Ukrainian at a glance

Ukrainian demand surged after the 2022 invasion. We support resettlement programs, asylum work, and humanitarian operations — Ukrainian-specific (not Russian) where requested.

Ukrainian is not interchangeable with Russian. Many Ukrainians are bilingual, but Ukrainian is a distinct language — and since 2022, being offered a Russian interpreter instead is often unwelcome. We treat Ukrainian as Ukrainian, full stop.

Ukrainian has around 40 million speakers in Ukraine and the global diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.

How we help

Four ways to work with a Ukrainian interpreter

Pick the modality that fits the conversation. Every one draws on the same vetted roster and the same standards.

OPI

Over-the-phone

A Ukrainian interpreter joins your call on demand, with no scheduling, apps or equipment. Built for short, urgent conversations.

VRI

Video remote

See each other while a Ukrainian interpreter works on screen: clinical visits, depositions and anything where expression or documents matter.

On-site

In person

A Ukrainian interpreter in the room for appointments, hearings, admissions and site visits where presence matters.

Conference

Meetings & events

Simultaneous or consecutive Ukrainian interpretation for board meetings, trainings, town halls and conferences.

Where we work

Where Ukrainian 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.

  • Refugee resettlement
  • Healthcare & clinical
  • Asylum & immigration
  • Humanitarian
