Translation and Interpreting Services in Wichita Falls

Wichita Falls residents, attorneys and agencies can order certified translation from Prism Language Solutions for any local address and book interpreters from our nationwide network, on site when a linguist is within reach and otherwise by phone or video. Every order is handled from New York, where the company keeps its single office. Spanish is the main language here, and the city’s smaller requests are shaped by an unusual mix: an international NATO pilot training wing at Sheppard Air Force Base, a state forensic hospital, and a USCIS field office a long drive away, in Irving.

That means Spanish is routine and nearly everything else is matched case by case. We ask for the country and region every time: the Philippines alone has several major languages besides Tagalog, and the answer changes who we send.

• Human linguists only, matched to the subject

Court Interpreters for Wichita County Courts

Wichita County has three district courts, the 30th, 78th and 89th, and two County Courts at Law, with the district clerk at the courthouse, 900 7th Street. The district courts take felonies, divorces and custody, juvenile cases and larger civil suits. Justice of the peace courts in four precincts handle evictions, small claims and Class C offenses, and the county runs a public defender’s office. Federal cases go to the Wichita Falls Division of the Northern District of Texas, which also covers Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cottle, Foard, Hardeman, King, Knox, Montague, Wilbarger and Young counties.

Interpreters for Forensic Evaluations at Wichita Falls State Hospital

Wichita Falls State Hospital, at 6515 Kemp Boulevard, is a state psychiatric hospital run by Texas Health and Human Services. Besides adult and adolescent inpatient care, it provides adult forensic psychiatric services and competency restoration for adults and adolescents in the justice system, so many patients reach it through the criminal courts. A competency evaluation or restoration session with a patient who speaks little English is only as good as the interpreter in the room.

Translation for Sheppard Air Force Base Families

Sheppard Air Force Base is the largest employer in Wichita Falls, with more than 7,000 people. Since 1981 its 80th Flying Training Wing has run the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program, which trains pilots from thirteen NATO countries: Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. It is the only program of its kind.

Families posted here for a training cycle deal with the ordinary paperwork of moving countries: a child’s school records for enrollment, a driver’s license translation, a birth certificate for a baby born abroad, medical records for a new doctor. We handle German translation, Italian translation, Dutch, Norwegian, Greek and Turkish for these, delivered by email.

Certified Translation for USCIS Dallas Field Office Interviews

USCIS assigns Wichita County ZIP codes to its Dallas Field Office, at 6500 Campus Circle Drive East in Irving, so green card and citizenship interviews mean a day trip to Irving. For removal proceedings, the court is the Dallas Immigration Court, 1100 Commerce Street, and asylum interviews for Texas at the Houston Asylum Office. Given the distance, a missing or incomplete translation is expensive; it can cost a second day off work.

The federal rule, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), calls for a full English translation of every foreign-language document, certified by the translator as complete and accurate. Our translators render the entire page, stamps and marginal notes included, and the officer at the interview decides whether it is accepted. Mexican, Vietnamese and Philippine civil records are the most common here; see USCIS translation, birth certificate translation and marriage certificate translation.

Medical Interpreters for United Regional in Wichita Falls

United Regional Health Care System is the city’s main hospital and describes itself as the only full-service system and Level II trauma center in the region, with 200 to 300 patients a day through its emergency department. Its language assistance notice lists Spanish, German, French, Mandarin, Tagalog, Korean, Vietnamese, Hindi, Gujarati, Russian, Arabic, Farsi and Urdu, a fair sketch of who comes through the doors.

Hospitals can meet their 45 CFR 92.201 duty in person or remotely. In-person interpreting makes sense for the long conversations: a trauma family meeting, a birth plan, a rehabilitation assessment, an end-of-life discussion. Clinics outside the hospital book us for the same reasons. See medical interpreting and on-site interpreting.
