China and the Western Translation Struggle

The market potential of China has skilfully seduced foreign investors for years but it is becoming increasingly difficult to enjoy a profitable portion of the economic action. This is largely down to China’s unwavering desire to promote home-grown champions over their foreign counterparts – often doing so to the detriment of WTO conventions and promises. This hits many British businesses hard – especially those within the highly competitive insurance sector – and subsequently creates a ‘survival of the fittest’ scenario where one needn’t really exist.

Careers in Court Interpreting

It is common practice for court interpreters to be present during court hearings and trials, translating words spoken into and from English for the benefit of different parties present. This could include interpreting testimonies, questions from the defence team and prosecution, sentencings and interviews. It goes without saying that all interpreting has to be completely and utterly unbiased. In addition to what is being spoken, court interpreters may also translate written records such as interviews done by the police that are subsequently used inside courtrooms. The average salary for a court interpreter in the UK was around £20,000, although the recent court interpreting saga in England and Wales may have affected that for the worse.

Usually it is the case that a court interpreter is a native speaker in the minority language being used inside a courtroom. They will obviously be completely fluent in English and have qualifications supporting this, in addition to possibly a degree in sociology, criminal justice or political science. Languages that commonly need court interpreting for in the UK due to large ethnic and immigrant communities include Urdu, Punjab

Employment as a Court Interpreter

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary for court interpreters is $51,000 but the salary varies by experience, education level and level of expertise.
