Languages available in Canterbury
We run our introductory interpreter training every six months in Christchurch, so the pool of languages available in Canterbury continues to grow. In July, we added Tagalog (spoken in the Philippines) to the list. We now have around 50 local interpreters available for on-site engagements, covering 28 languages and ranging from Arabic to Tongan. For a complete list, contact our Canterbury Coordinator, Maria Fresia: canterbury@interpret.org.nz, phone (03) 372 9311.
