Sign Language Interpreter
A Sign Language Interpreter is a professional who facilitates communication between deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and those who can hear. They translate spoken language into sign language and vice versa, ensuring that both parties understand each other. This role is essential in various settings, including schools, hospitals, and public events.
