- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When hiring a translator or interpreter, it is important to ask whether he/she is certified in the needed language. American Translators Association (ATA) certifies translators who provide written translation. It is especially important if you need translation of documents for a government agency, such as INS/USCIS, college or university, for courts, and for business purposes. Superior Courts certify interpreters who provide oral translation. It is important to use a certified interpreter if you need translation for INS interviews, court trials, depositions, or arbitration. Only an individual translator or interpreter (not an agency) can be certified.
