Tagalog translation services
Filipino for official documents, Tagalog for the community.
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.
Filipino, the standardised form of Tagalog, is written in the Latin alphabet. The practical question is register: formal Filipino for official documents, more conversational Tagalog for community-facing material — and English loanwords are common and often the natural choice.
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.
