Scope of the Program An Indian Sign Language Interpreter is responsible for helping deaf individuals understand what is being said in a variety of situations. An Indian Sign Language Interpreter must understand the subject matter of discourse so he or she can accurately translate what is being spoken into Indian Sign Language. An Indian sign language interpreter may be present to translate during an office meeting, in a courtroom, or at a political speech. Interpreters may also be used in one-on-one situations to help two parties communicate with each other. Indian Sign Language interpreters might use technology to provide services from a remote location. Carrying out the interpreter’s main duties requires listening, sign language and communication skills. An Indian Sign Language Interpreter may also have to do research if he or she is working in a situation involving highly technical information or complex information to gain an understanding of what will be interpreted. A good memory is also important since an interpreter will need to remember what has been said in order to sign it
