IT-COMMIT: an interactive tool for community interpreter training

Community interpreters interpret conversations in the health, social, education or asylum sectors and thus make a significant contribution to giving people without sufficient knowledge of the national language access to public services. Despite this responsible task, they rarely have the opportunity to practise in their working languages as part of their training. An interactive app with realistic interpreting situations is intended to close this gap.
