Frequently Asked Questions
What types of interpreting do you offer?
We offer simultaneous interpreting (real-time), consecutive interpreting (speaker pauses for interpretation), and sight translation (oral translation of written documents).
Are your interpreters certified?
When the client or applicable regulations require it, NLI assigns certified or credentialed interpreters appropriate for the engagement — including CCHI-certified medical interpreters and Wisconsin court-certified interpreters where applicable. Every linguist we assign is vetted, signs a contractor agreement and confidentiality terms, and works under native-speaker quality review. NLI is a member of the American Translators Association (ATA) and MATI — the Midwest Association of Translators and Interpreters.

For scheduled appointments, we confirm within 2 hours during business hours (Mon–Sat 9am–6pm CT). For Russian-language emergencies, we operate Wisconsin's only 24/7 emergency Russian interpreter line at (608) 572-7287.
