In their words

How interpretation has benefited clients

“Connection with the interpreter was easy and efficient. The interpretation between the non-speaking educators and the native speaking family was seamless, both accurate and easy to understand.”
Principal Wauwatosa School District
“Argo Translation is simply amazing. I am able to speak to any client, at any time of day, in their first language. Clients expect clear communication, and Argo Translation is a key player in providing it.”

Two paths

Miscommunication costs more than hiring a professional

When you make do without a pro

The message gets lost

Unequal care

A limited-English patient doesn't get the same level of care as everyone else.

Legal exposure

A family member or untrained bilingual staffer introduces bias and risk.

Lost trust

Parents and clients disengage when they can't follow what's being said.

Delay

Scrambling to find someone who speaks the language stalls the whole conversation.

When Argo Translation is on the line

Clear, accurate, & professional

Qualified

Vetted professionals with training, experience, and the right credentials.

Neutral & confidential

An unbiased third party keeps the conversation accurate and private.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about interpretation

What's the difference between interpretation and translation?
Interpreters work in real time, conveying spoken language and cultural nuance instantly, which is essential for face-to-face, phone, or video conversations. Translators focus on written content, ensuring accuracy and cultural relevance in documents. If you need translation services instead, please visit our document translation page.
Are your interpreters certified?
We work with certified, highly qualified interpreters who have at least 2 years of experience and 40 hours of completed training. All pass a rigorous credentialing process, including a healthcare interpreting assessment; many hold a bachelor's degree, national certifications, and formal training.
Are there discounted rates available?
Yes. There are reduced rates available for non-profit organizations and large volume customers.
Do you offer in-person interpretation?
At this time, we provide Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) and Telephonic Interpretation (TI) rather than on-site interpreters, so you get timely, accurate, and budget-friendly interpretation without anyone needing to be physically present.
How does the monthly minimum work?
If your total usage in a month is under $50, you're billed $50 total. If it's more, you pay only for the minutes used at $1.95/min.

For example: 20 minutes ($39) is billed at the $50 minimum; 60 minutes is billed at $117.
Can I pre-schedule an interpreter?
Yes, customers can pre-schedule an interpreter with 24 hours' notice through our online form. There is a cancellation fee if you cancel within 24 hours or do not join the scheduled call. We recommend scheduling in advance for:
  • Meetings estimated to last an hour or more
  • Less common languages
  • Meetings that require specialized experience (medical or legal interpreter, certain certificates, etc.)
  • Requesting a specific interpreter or gender
  • Having the interpreter join your conference call automatically at the start time (via Google Meet, Teams, or Zoom)
Do you have certified legal interpreters?
Yes. We recommend pre-scheduling an interpreter 24 hours in advance to guarantee availability.
Is information kept confidential? Are calls recorded?
Yes. Information is kept confidential, and calls are recorded for internal quality assurance only. Our interpreters are HIPAA-certified. We don't provide recordings on demand; recordings are retained for 90 days, then securely deleted.
Do you provide consecutive or simultaneous interpreting?
We provide human consecutive interpretation via phone or video. We also provide AI-powered simultaneous interpretation through our AI Speech Translator solution.
Can I use the service to make one phone call without an account?
No, our service is designed for businesses, schools, medical facilities, and community services that provide communication access to their customers, parents, patients, and clients in their preferred language. We offer a low monthly minimum of $50 with no start-up fees.
