Often, the terms interpreter and translator are used interchangeably, but it’s critical to know the difference. Professional interpretation services involve an interpreter who is trained to change spoken or signed messages from one language to another, while translators are trained to work on documents and change written text from one language to another. For court interpreters to be certified in California, they must pass the Court Interpreters written and oral State Exams, and complete additional Judicial Council requirements. There is no oral exam for some languages. In this case, an interpreter is required to pass only a written exam in English to become a registered interpreter.

Hi, I’m Sandy, a certified court interpreter in California, I am also an experienced district translator, and I worked as a special education interpreter and translator for over 10 years before becoming a certified court interpreter. I founded Spectrum Translations in 2017 and chose the name in homage to those who formed an important part of my social education: Back in my college years, I volunteered as a note-taking assistant to students with disabilities at Long Beach City College. That was my introduction to working with people with special needs, although I prefer to think of them as people with special talents. I began my volunteer experience with the intent to help others. But I soon found out that it was quite the contrary. My students taught me how to develop greater empathy towards people who have trouble communicating clearly because of a speech impediment or lack of fluency in English. During that year, I realized that I had found my life’s mission: to help people who can’t communicate on their own. Read additional details at spectrumtranslations.com.
