I know that we supposed to interpret word for word and i do so but in my language physician assistant sounds like some kind of secretary and nurse practitioner like some nurse who is not supposed to make a prescription coz in our country nurse is nurse and they are allowed to check blood pressure temperature and give an injection only.

Recently i had a call where the patient had an appointment with PA. when i introduced PA patient got upset and asked "this is my 3rd appointment in this office and every time i see some nurse or assistant so when will i finally see the doctor?"

What would you do? would you explain to the patient that PA is a medical professional or would u continue to be just a conduit?

How many of you would be open to pay for a tool that helps you do your interpreter job better, and I mean something good, that could transcribe everything, also interpret it and would comply with privacy requirements.

Is 15 dollars per month a good price?

hey guys! i've got my interview with globo.

they have 3 open roles at the moment: GAP program, for bilingual people with zero experience as interpreters; medlite program, targeting people with less than 2 years of experience but more than 6 months and lastly MSI which is for interpreters with +2 years of experience.

rates for medlite are:

-$0.09 per minute OPI

-$0.11 per minute VRI

-$6.60 shift schedule

i'm honestly shocked since it's a very well known company, I can't believe the rates for that position and I can't even imagine how much do they pay if you go to their GAP program 💀

I am a freelance interpreter, the company owns me money, what to do?

Hi everyone, for those working with DALS Link (DA Languages), have you noticed a decrease in call volume? I started working with them about a year ago at a rate of £0.20 per minute, and things were going well. However, over the past few months, I had to reduce my rate from £0.20 to £0.16 per minute in order to receive calls.

What surprised me the most is that last Friday, I noticed that my rate was no longer £0.16 but had been increased to £0.21 per minute. Even the staff member I used to contact to help me reduce my rate is no longer responding.Sometimes, I also receive emails from different company that I am not registered with responding to emails sent to DA Languages.

DA Languages themselves sent an email acknowledging that the majority of their interpreters have been complaining about the low call volume, yet they continue to say that everything is working perfectly fine. Has anyone else experienced something similar?

Hello! I’ve been working for Propio for 4 years. Last week I didn’t received a single call - not one. When I contacted them via email they sent me a generic response . I have emailed them twice and I keep getting the exact same message. I am really worried. I am U.S based. Has anyone experienced this issue over the past week?

I have a account on Propio it worked until Propio stopped working, my account is still there I just do not receive calls there, I applied for Propio again, they told me I couldn't apply for I work with a business partner of theirs.

What options do I have?

Propio paga en Deel, pero mi contrato fue hecho para Ecuador. Si viajo a Colombia puedo mover mi dinero de Deel a un banco local de Colombia sin problema? Y la cuenta de Colombia debe estar a mi nombre o no?

Hola, solo queria compartirles las ofertas de empleo que estos miserables estan enviando. Ojala nadie las acepte porque es un rate ofensivo para la industria. Cuentenme sus opiniones los leo

I just checked my last paystub and I saw that I have a lot of long call validation even on a short one (11min) anyone knows what can be the reason. I'm with them for 2 years and it happened before but 1 call per paystub only and this time they validated 17 calls 🤔

**DALS vs Glocco – looking for advice from other interpreters**

Hi everyone,
I’m currently working as a freelance telephone interpreter with DALS, mainly doing langage interpreting. I’ve been working with them for some time and I’m generally familiar with the way their platform and scheduling work.
Recently, I received an opportunity from Glocco for an Telephone Interpreter position.
They initially offered €6 per scheduled hour, but after discussing my experience, they agreed to **€8 per scheduled hour**. The interesting part is that the rate applies to the whole scheduled availability, regardless of how many calls I actually handle during that time.
I’m currently going through the recruitment process.
I’m interested in seeing how Glocco works compared with DALS, especially regarding:
How many hours are actually offered after onboarding
How reliable the scheduled hours are
The quality and frequency of calls
Payment reliability
Management and communication
Overall experience as an interpreter
Has anyone here worked with both Dals and Glocco?
If so, which one would you recommend and why?

Hi, so, I'm an interpreter, I work a dedicated shift of 40 hours a week and do a small extra in a freelance company on saturdays. I'm using this income to pay for a degree for the next 4 years, and I do wonder, will AI take my job during that time? is it gonna be over before I can graduate and leave this field of work? or should I rest easy? I want to mention that I'm from LATAM so the rates are pretty low compared to developed countries, which means less chances of being replaced by a clanker I assume, but Im still stressed.

I’m specifically trying to determine whether calls are now being routed to AI before human interpreters, particularly for U.S based interpreters.

I work at Lionbridge, 0.12 per minute as Spanish Interpeter, 7.2 an hour.

Do you guys know of any companies that pay better than that for spanish language? I would appreciate the tip!

Hey everyone! 👋
Does anyone know of any medical interpreting companies (or other remote interpreting companies) that are currently hiring full-time interpreters in the U.S., paying at least $22/hour?
I’m looking for remote opportunities and would really appreciate any leads or recommendations from people who know of companies hiring right now, in August 2026. And now do you make money with the contracts?
Thank you so much! 🙏
