Interpreters by language
What to check before booking an interpreter in a given language — variety, register, certification and the scheduling realities of each market.
Portuguese Interpreters
A Portuguese interpreter converts speech between Portuguese and another language in real time. The first question to settle is the variety: Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese differ in vocabulary, register and pronunciation enough that using the wrong one is immediately noticeable to your audience.
Read the pageChinese Interpreters
A Chinese interpreter works live between Chinese and another language. Start by naming the spoken variety — Mandarin or Cantonese, which are not mutually intelligible — and, for any written material, whether you need simplified or traditional characters. Those two choices determine who can actually staff the job.
Read the pageSpanish Interpreters
A Spanish interpreter works live between Spanish and another language. Spanish is far more uniform across regions than Portuguese or Chinese, so the deciding factor is usually subject expertise and the regional register your audience expects, rather than a hard variety split.
