1. Ask your friends to recommend one.
2. An experienced conference interpreter is often someone who specializes in specific fields. For example, if you need an interpreter who knows about water treatment, the targeted interpreter is perfect if he/she worked in that industry before.
3. Contact big translation companies and ask them to give you recommendations.
4. Maturity, professionalism and optimism are highly valued in international conferences.
5. A conference interpreter is often a consecutive interpreter, who is supposed to interpret each sentence and almost each word. Therefore only those who have been working for large MNCs, press conferences as well as those that are professionally trained could perform the task perfectly.
6. A good conference interpreter must speak the two languages fluently. But someone who speaks fluently your language is not always a good interpreter. This is because interpretation is very much different from speaking.
