at this point i have to book 3-4 weeks in advance if I need an interpreter - CART is a little easier but still ... it's just something that I have to try and work with - at least I know that whomever I do get will be good !!!
Too true. A lousy, unskilled terp does not belong in any situation, much less an academic one.
