**Please note: You might have a choice of telephone interpreting provider.
Interpreting is the act of facilitating spoken language communication between two or more parties who do not share a common language by delivering, as faithfully as possible, the original message from source into target language. This is the foundation. Community interpreting involves much more. Find out more here.
