Religious Interpreting

Interpreters can work in religious settings, interpreting for various religions (Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc.) and denominations. They may interpret congregational songs/hymns, sermons, weddings or funerals with religious context, conferences, or concerts. 

​

Interpreting in religious settings requires knowledge of the specific religion or denomination, cultural knowledge/understanding of the original religion's culture, the ability to interpret messages that rely heavily on imagery or idiomatic expressions, and sometimes a willingness to perform services pro-bono.
