EMYSTI INTERPRETINGCHRISTINE LEE · FOUNDER & CHIEF INTERPRETER

Interpreter standards

We match the interpreter to the job, not just the languages.

Important interpreting needs preparation, discretion and the right background. Before we send anyone to a client, we check that they are ready and that they fit the job.

  • Training on checked materials, plus a practical test
  • Confidentiality rules confirmed
  • Chosen job by job — not picked from a list

How we check and choose interpreters

01

Ready before client work

To join EMYSTI, interpreters complete training built on source-backed materials, pass a practical interpreting test and confirm our confidentiality and service rules. For each module or test we record the material version, where it came from, permission or anonymisation, and who checked it. These are EMYSTI’s own requirements; this is not a government licence or a public certification.

02

We look at the job before suggesting a name

We consider the languages, subject, format, place, dates, materials, what participants expect and any access or conduct rules. Someone who suits a general meeting may not suit a medical consultation or a factory visit.

03

Confidentiality from the start

We ask for as little as possible in the first inquiry. We only ask for materials when preparation really needs them, and we agree how they are shared, who can see them and how long they are kept before anything sensitive is sent.

04

We stay with you during the job

Our team is available throughout. If the scope, schedule or participants change, we check whether the interpreter and plan still fit.
