The courts and medical care facilities at New Mexico will be having more and better interpreters in the near future as it has been announced that as fresh interpreters will be trained in a number of languages to provide services in courts and medical care facilities.
Language translation training will start this fall and would be provided with the help of online language programs. It will be conducted by the New Mexico Center for Language Access which was created through collaboration between the state judiciary, and the Los Alamos branch of the University of New Mexico.
The New Mexico Center for Language Access will be providing training in American Sign Language, Navajo, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese and Arabic. It is not mandatory for prospective students to possess college or high school degree in order to enroll, but they do need to be bilingually proficient.
