Russian interpreters and translation services.
Russian is a major language across California and Nevada, with concentrations in West Hollywood, the Bay Area, and Las Vegas. AMS supplies California court-certified Russian interpreters for depositions, IMEs, and trials, plus qualified Russian translators for legal and immigration documents.
Russian varieties and dialects we handle
Standard Russian
The standard of the Russian Federation and the post-Soviet diaspora. Used in virtually all U.S. legal and medical Russian-language work.
Ukrainian, Belarusian, and other related languages
Ukrainian and Belarusian are distinct languages, not dialects of Russian. For Ukrainian-speaking clients, request Ukrainian interpretation. AMS coordinates qualified Ukrainian interpreters separately.
Russian-American heritage variety
Older Russian-Americans may speak Russian with significant English code-switching or with a Soviet-era register. Court interpreters render this accurately on the record.
