Specialist Books and Resources for Interpreters and Translators​

"A Training Handbook for Health and Medical Interpreters in Australia" is a surprisingly good book for interpreters. It gives me insights into the medical field as it is well researched and thoroughly easy to read" states Angela Lam, a practitioner in Mandarin and English languages.

In addition to delivering professional development, recertification and preparatory training services, Language Experts has a wide collection of current and relevant publications and reference materials on interpreting and translation from Australia and around the world.
