Specialised formal training at degree level is recommended for judiciary interpreters. But where it is neither an option nor required, in-house on-the-job training deserves serious consideration as a credible route to competency. Practically nothing is available in the literature about judiciary interpreting in Singapore despite its long history. While the unavailability of formal training in the country is a known fact, little has been written about how well State Courts interpreters are performing in the circumstances. However, given that they work in a bilingual milieu, often with judges, lawyers and/or lay persons who speak English and the other language in interpreter-mediated proceedings, the lack of serious concerns raised within the Judiciary and the public at large speaks well of them.
