Chinese Interpreter

Chinese Interpreters are multi-lingual professionals who interpret speeches, public presentations, verbal interactions, and conversations from Mandarin or Cantonese into English (and other languages). They work for a wide variety of organisations including healthcare providers, justice and correctional services organisations, media outlets, non-profits and community service agencies, private enterprises, and government departments.

As a Chinese Interpreter you could be acting as an interpreter at a live event for a media organisation, helping Chinese customers over the phone, accompanying a social worker on a field visit so they can communicate with elderly Chinese clients, acting as an interpreter in a hospital so Chinese patients fully understand their medications and diagnosis, working alongside a detective as they question a suspect, or visiting China to keep your language skills fresh and up-to-date.

To be successful in this occupation you will need native-level fluency in Mandarin and /or Cantonese, keen focused attention, and the ability to interpret and convey a Chinese speaker’s authentic tone and meaning.
