Approaches to Interpretation

You may need to rely on several approaches to interpretation, depending on the level of need in your community.

Click on the headings below to learn about approaches to interpretation that you might use in different scenarios.

You might employ a full-time dedicated Vietnamese staff interpreter because you serve multiple Vietnamese speakers daily.

You might also use contracted in-person Korean and Mandarin interpreters because you serve people who speak those languages weekly.

Finally, you might use telephonic interpreters as needed, because you also occasionally encounter people who speak other languages.
