Legal Interpreting Services

Court interpreters are oral communication specialists who facilitate communication between non-English-speaking and English-speaking participants in court proceedings. Court interpreters are required to be impartial, accurate, and discreet; all information must remain strictly confidential.

There are many things to consider when choosing a legal interpreting service. One important factor is that their interpreters have a thorough understanding of legal terminology and vocabulary. This is essential for all parties involved. In an intense courtroom proceeding, an interpreter must be both highly accurate and highly knowledgeable. In legal matters, a professional, certified interpreter is an invaluable asset.

Translationz provides both consecutive interpretation and simultaneous interpretation. Consecutive interpretation entails two-way communication, such as would occur in the cross-examination of a witness. Simultaneous interpretation makes use of electronic equipment to provide ongoing, uninterrupted translation. Simultaneous interpretation is used for one-way communication, as when entire proceedings require translation.

Court interpretation is a rigorous intellectual practice. Court interpreters undergo extensive training and must abide by a strict code of ethics.

There are three levels of certified legal interpreters in Australia:

Paraprofessional Level (Level 2): This represents a level of competence in interpreting for the purpose of general conversations. Paraprofessional interpreters generally undertake the interpretation of non-specialised dialogues. A Level 3 interpreter is required for the courts; however, when no Level 3 interpreters are available, Level 2 interpreters are often allowable. Translationz will always provide Level 3 interpreters for court situations unless none are available. In such cases, Translationz will always request the client’s permission to substitute Paraprofessional Level 2 interpreters.

Professional Level (Level 3): This represents the minimum level of competence for professional interpreting and is the minimum level recommended for work in most settings, including banking, law, health, and social and community services. Professional Interpreters are capable of interpreting across a wide range of semi-specialised situations and are capable of using the consecutive mode to interpret speeches or presentations.

Conference Level (Level 4): This represents the level of competence required to handle complex, technical, and sophisticated interpreting, in both consecutive and simultaneous modes, in line with recognised international practice. Conference interpreters operate in diverse situations, including at conferences, high-level negotiations, and court proceedings and some specialise in a particular area(s).

If you are looking for an interpreter for an upcoming court hearing it is important to begin your search early, as interpreters’ schedules can fill up quickly. Nonetheless, in most instances we can accommodate last-minute and urgent requests.
