Cantonese community concentrations in San Diego
Cantonese reflects San Diego's older Chinese American settlement, historically rooted downtown near the original Chinatown district and now centered in the Convoy District of Kearny Mesa. It is most often requested for elderly patients and longtime residents at UC San Diego Health Hillcrest and Scripps Mercy, and for probate and family matters at the Central Courthouse. Because Cantonese and Mandarin are not mutually intelligible, we confirm which variety a client speaks before dispatching so seniors are not assigned a Mandarin-only interpreter.
Cantonese assignments in the San Diego-Chula Vista metro and the South Bay border region concentrate in the following areas. AMS dispatches interpreters throughout the metro region:
- Kearny Mesa
- Convoy District
- downtown San Diego
- Mira Mesa
