In this role, your responsibilities include ensuring effective communication between two people who speak a different language, relaying ideas and concepts that differ between languages, and interpreting written communications for the involved parties. You may also translate languages at meetings or conferences and explain industry-specific terminology, such as legal or medical terms.
