Our most requested languages are listed below; interpreters for other languages are available upon request. In-state interpreters are subject to a two-hour minimum per day. Out-of-state interpreters are subject to an eight-hour minimum per day. Please submit all interpretation requests at least three (3) business days in advance of assignment start date to avoid rush charges. University Translators Services guarantees it will only reserve a certified and/or Grade AA interpreter for your proceeding. If the requested language is not one that the State of Michigan certifies, we will provide you with a Grade AA interpreter. Grade AA signifies an interpreter with extensive knowledge and experience with business/legal terminology and/or boardroom/courtroom protocol.
