Nobody: ...

Absolutely nobody: ...

People after successfully helping with one phone call in another language:

“I could definitely do this professionally.” 😎





08/05/2026

Nobody talks about the moment someone realises:

“Oh… this is actually a real job.”

Not helping out.
Not translating random paperwork.
Not being the unofficial family helpline 😭

An actual profession.

With qualifications.
Exams.
Specialisms.
Career progression.

Some people discover that way later than they should.

Fluent

There’s a difference.

Things that somehow become your job when you speak more than one language:

Reading confusing letters
Helping on random phone calls
Explaining forms
Repeating things more slowly
Being everyone’s emergency contact for “can you just…”

No one warns you about that part 😂

Unpopular opinion:

Not everyone who is bilingual should be interpreting.

There’s more to it than language.

Some people won’t agree with that.

But the difference shows when it matters most.




27/03/2026

Not everyone plans to work in languages.

For a lot of people, it just… happens.

You grow up bilingual.
You help people out.
You get known as “the one who speaks both.”

And then one day you realise…

This could actually be something more.

Do you work as an interpreter in more than one language?

With upcoming changes from the Ministry of Justice, there’s a growing expectation that interpreters (especially in legal and public service settings) will need to hold a recognised qualification in each language they work in.

So if you already have the Level 6 DCI or DPSI in one language, it might be time to think about your next step.

Adding a second qualification can:
✔️ Increase your earning potential
✔️ Strengthen your professional credibility
✔️ Set you apart in a competitive market
✔️ Open up more work across different sectors

More and more interpreters are now choosing to qualify in a second language - sometimes through a partial qualification route, depending on experience.

If you’ve been thinking about it, now’s a good time to explore your options.
