Are you looking to start a career as a translator and/or interpreter? In the past several years, there has been an increase in demand for interpreters and translators for various industries. Possible occupations include Medical Translator or Interpreter, Administrative Hearing Interpreter, Literary Translators, Sign Language Interpreters, Conference Interpreter, Court Interpreter, and Legal Translators. One of the more common types of interpreters is a legal or court interpreter.
Court interpreters must pass a series of exams, including written and oral proficiency, in order to become certified.

Interpreters and translators convert the
spoken or written words and expressions of one language into another. Julio Mario Medal chose to become a court interpreter based on his
knowledge and fluency in Spanish and English. He has helped many
Spanish-speaking persons and their families receive proper justice in the
United States judicial system. The difference between a translator and an
interpreter is that translators work with written text, while interpreters
listen and interpret what a speaker says. Mario Medal News is primarily an interpreter, but also performs translating services
for Spanish to English and English to Spanish.
Translators and interpreters
must be natively fluent in the languages they work with, as well as the
particular subject. For instance, if you are a court interpreter you must be
familiar with court and legal terminology as well as any street jargon and
idioms. Court Interpreters interpret in a criminal or civil court proceeding,
such as an arraignment, motion, pretrial conference, preliminary hearing,
deposition, or trial, for a witness or defendant who speaks or understands
little or no English. Interpreters and translators must also deliver the
intended meaning of a person, so they have to take into consideration the other
person’s cultural expressions.
Person-to-person interpretation is the most common type of interpretation technique. This type of interpreter is used for witness testimony in court or administrative hearings and also medical exams, conferences, and video remote interpreting. Julio Mario Medal is also an example of someone who does person-to-person interpreting services for court related cases for those who are only able to speak Spanish and need assistance in translating English to Spanish and Spanish to English. In simultaneous interpreting,
the interpreter listens as well as speaks or sign at the same time someone is
speaking or signing. Often times, interpreters work in pairs with this type of
interpreting. With consecutive interpreting, interpreters speak after the
speaker has spoken a group or words or sentences. This type of interpreter
often takes notes while listening to the speaker.
