What are the hallmarks of a professional interpreter?
The title “interpreter” or “conference interpreter” is not protected by law. For this reason the quality in this market segment varies greatly. Interpreters who work professionally and have an internationally recognized degree in interpreting sciences offer you the quality and peace of mind you seek. An additional seal of approval is membership in the International Association of Conference Interpreters (aiic) whose members all possess several years’ working experience. A prerequisite for membership is a high standard of professional practice born out by several active members.
