A sign language interpreter is a professional who translates spoken language into sign language for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. They facilitate communication between hearing and non-hearing individuals in various settings, such as schools, workplaces, and public events. Interpreters must be fluent in both the spoken language and the sign language they are interpreting. These interpreters use their skills to convey not just words, but also tone and emotion, ensuring that the message is accurately understood. They often work in pairs or teams for larger events to maintain clarity and effectiveness. Their role is essential for promoting accessibility and inclusion in society.
