French is spoken in 29 countries across five continents. In the United States, French interpreting demand is driven primarily by communities from West Africa (Senegal, Guinea, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali) and Haiti, rather than France itself.
West African and Haitian immigrants are among the largest French-speaking populations in the U.S. Healthcare, legal, and education settings in cities like New York, Boston, Miami, and Washington D.C. consistently need French interpreters — particularly those familiar with West African French or Haitian French cultural contexts.
IMP supports Haitian Creole and French as separate languages, so agencies can accurately match interpreters to the correct language. Custom fields can track regional French fluency (West African, Haitian, European) for more precise broadcasting.
Many French interpreters in the U.S. also speak Haitian Creole, Wolof, or Bambara. IMP's multi-language interpreter profiles let agencies capture all of an interpreter's language competencies in one place.
Broadcasting, scheduling, billing, and reporting — tailored to your agency's French interpreter network.
