Hi everyone,

I am curious as to the legal status of simultaneous/consecutive interpretation in other countries.

In Israel, where I live, there are certification programs (e.g. Bar Ilan University) for both interpretation and translation, but they aren't a legal requirement to practice the profession, so essentially, anyone can claim to be a professional translator or interpreter. Besides, government agencies rarely insist on working with certified professionals here, and simply look for the best prices available through translation agencies. As you can imagine, this leads to an erosion of the quality of the work and in the prices we can charge.

What's the case in the countries you live in? How can we give our profession the status it deserves in the eyes of the law?

Thanks!
