How IMP Helps

Managing Mandarin Chinese interpreters with IMP

IMP tracks both Mandarin and Cantonese as separate languages in interpreter profiles, so broadcasting targets the correct dialect. Proximity matching helps agencies dispatch the closest qualified Mandarin interpreter for onsite appointments.

Mandarin interpreting often requires cultural competency beyond language fluency. IMP's interpreter profiles include certification and specialization fields so agencies can match interpreters by both language and expertise.
