Portuguese community concentrations in San Jose
San Jose's Little Portugal district east of downtown, centered on East Santa Clara Street and the red-domed Five Wounds Portuguese National Church, grew from Azorean immigrants who came to work in agriculture and the canneries. The community sustains Portuguese social clubs and the annual Holy Ghost Festa. AMS interprets for Portuguese speakers in civil and family matters at Santa Clara County Superior Court and in healthcare at nearby hospitals. Many local speakers use Azorean Portuguese, which the interpreter takes into account in sensitive settings.

- Little Portugal
