Where do interpreters work?

Community interpreters work when there is a language barrier wherever a service needs to be provided. Areas of work include healthcare, social services, legal and other settings. Usually, community interpreters work on a freelance basis, contracted by interpreting agencies.

Court interpreters work under the Ministry of the Attorney General at the various courthouses or wherever a court interpreter is needed. This is also true for Immigration and Refugee Board interpreters.

Are there resources for community interpreters, such as a language-specific glossary of terms frequently utilized in our profession?

Yes of course, this is something we are always working on and adding to. Check out our current resources here.
