Translation and interpretation services

When selecting a simultaneous interpretation service, ask what credentials their interpreters have. For conference interpretations, look for professional affiliations such as International Association of Conference Interpreters and the American Association of Language Specialists. Also, ask for references from similar meetings - if your meeting is technical in nature, you don't want a court-level interpreter - and find out what kind of equipment the vendor uses. If the system does not meet ISO standards, you risk interference during your meeting and substandard working conditions for the interpreters.
