  1. When you’ve got to have a serious conversation, it’s best to have an interpreter at hand who knows what he/she is doing. It's good to know that courts take interpreter training seriously, and that there are qualified, professional interpreting services available for most languages.Luckily, I can't see machines taking over the jobs of human translators in the near future, as they have done with so many other professions .
