What Is Community Interpreting?
Community interpreting facilitates access to public services — healthcare, legal and administrative — for individuals who do not speak the local language. The interpreter accompanies the individual and conveys communication in both directions between the individual and the official. It is one of the most frequently needed services for foreign nationals living in or visiting Antalya.
