Community interpreter training opportunities are growing all over the world. A heightened awareness of the need for competent interpreters in legal settings has carried over into other areas, resulting in a positive impact on community interpretation in general. Consequently, many non-profit organizations, professional associations, academic institutions, and government agencies are becoming involved in upgrading the competence and professionalizing the image of the community interpreter. Concentrating on the United States and the United Kingdom, the current article discusses a number of promising developments in this field.
