Hi Mona,
If you are concerned about resourcing any bilingual family members you might find volunteers in the clients local community. Places of worship and local libraries are definitely worth exploring. When I don¡¯t have access to an interpreter I have used the Google translate app. There are 32 language options available in ¡°conversation mode ¡°. It¡¯s simple to use and provides real time conversation.?
Good luck!

Hello,
I work for a VR agency and we¡¯ve been having trouble finding interpreters for certain languages. Have any of you had this problem? Any suggestions? I¡¯m disappointed to have to cancel another lesson for lack of interpreter.
Thanks!
Mona
