Interpreter Freelance Work
Work as an Interpreter or Translator for freelance payment for individuals and organizations such as the
police, social services, the courts, medical personnel, etc:
If you have a second language such as Arabic, German, Polish, Chinese, Russian, Serbo-Croatian or can do sign
language for the deaf then you can gain interpreter or translator freelance work in a variety of areas:
Police Interpreter Translator Jobs
Legal interpretation work could include working for the police, a solicitor or lawyer, a legal team, the court
or the legal aid or crown prosecution service. Register an interest for such work at your local court and police
station.
You will normally need to provide several references and demonstrate that you can understand and effectively
communicate an understanding of the foreign language as well as a good command of English. This is normally for the
written word as well as the spoken word.
The legal system needs a bank of second language speakers and you can help by joining. You will normally be paid
for your time and usually receive a refund for expenses such as travelling or loss of earnings from your regular
job.
Work is not guaranteed and can be irregular. You may be called upon at short notice and have to work unsocial hours
like through the night or at weekends. The information you have to interpret may not be pleasant and may involve
quite nasty crimes or the witness of such a crime.
You should ensure the person is speaking the same dialect as you to prevent misunderstandings and mis quotations.
This is especially important for the many African and Chinese dialects. Some trials have had to be abandoned because
of such a situation.
Do declare at an early stage any interest in a case or a relationship with a defendant or an accused.
Interpreter work for the police or the courts does require a high standard in interpreting services in order to uphold human rights and the right to a fair trial. For example you will need to have an understanding and compliance of the PACE codes.
It should be remembered that interpreter work is a responsible position and that there is a big difference between community interpreting and Public Service Interpreting. In order to work as a Public Service Interpreter you should be a professionally qualified public service interpreter. Those who wish to work in Criminal Justice should be a Registered Public Service Interpreter (RPSI) which means you are qualified, security checked and registered. Organisations exist to deal with malpractice of the rules and to advise people working in these fields. For example one such organisation is the Professional Interpreters Alliance.
In the Criminal Justice Sector there is an agreement issued by the Office for Criminal Justice Reform which sets out the obligations for Criminal Justice agencies with regard to engaging interpreters. The National Agreement can be found at frontline.cjsonline.gov.uk/guidance/race-confidence-and-justice/
The National Agreement serves to underpin certain legislation such as Articles 5 and 6 of the ECHR and PACE Code C. There are a number of cases currently sub judice that relate to criminal charges being brought against persons who impersonated an interpreter in criminal proceedings. Interpreting is a skilled and demanding profession that should be left to the professionals. For more information about the qualifications related to the languages sector visit www.iol.org.uk
Translation Employment
In many jobs there will be a time when a document, book, letter or even conversation needs to be translated. For example
a French patient who comes to the UK for specialist care may need his or her French medical notes translated by
someone with French as a second language. This would have to be done in the hospital because of patient
confidentiality.
However another example may be a Dentist who is using the latest piece of dentistry equipment - but the instructions
are written in Polish. The dentist will gladly pay someone on a freelance basis to work as a translator and type
out the instruction manual in English. This interpreter work can be done at home.

Other situations needing an interpreter could include translating works of Arabic literature or letters sent to
individuals.
Income earnt from interpreter freelance work should be declared to the inland revenue on your income tax annual
self assessment form. Expenses such as mileage, if not paid by the employer, may be able to be offset against this
on your expense sheets. Any equipment like a dictaphone, computer or printer, etc should also be claimed, though only
as a percentage if used for personnel reasons.
