Language Services

The Language Services team relies on bilingual staff members (Spanish and English) who are highly experienced in translation and interpretation services. In addition, we work with a pool of certified and highly qualified contracted translators who translate CNM information and materials into Spanish and other languages as needed, and interpreters for oral rendition. In order to meet the College’s needs, translation and interpretation services are prioritized depending on the needs of the College and executed with appropriate timelines that serve the needs of clients.

Language Services

Contracted Translators and Interpreters 

Our Language Services unit is assisted by in-house staff and by a pool of contractors, primarily for Spanish, but also for other languages such as Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Farsi, Dari, etc. 

CNM Language Services Unit works with contractors who are professionals in the translation and interpretation field. We consider professional translators and interpreters to be fully bilingual, experienced, highly qualified, and/or certified by a recognized institution like the American Translator Association (ATA), the Administration Office of the Courts (AOC), or a comparable certification. We also prefer professionals currently working as translators and/or interpreters, and we only contract with professionals who adhere to the Code of Ethics for translators and interpreters.

All contractors go through a selection process and must have an approved purchase order prior to providing services. Our office evaluates resumes, credentials, references, and skills.

If you are interested in being a contracted translator and/or interpreter for CNM Language Services Unit or if you have questions, please email to translate@cnm.edu.
