Mandarin questions

Something else? Bring it to the demo.

Does overflow cover Mandarin?

Not today. Overflow covers ASL on video, and Spanish and French on video and phone. Other spoken languages can be added in writing when interpreters are available.

How do we keep Mandarin and Cantonese apart?

Keep each as its own language pair on interpreter profiles, so offers only reach interpreters who work in the one requested.

Can Mandarin interpreters work remotely?

Yes. Book scheduled video or phone jobs, or have them take live calls in IMP.

How does IMP decide who gets a Mandarin offer?

By language pair, credentials, delivery type, and the settings each interpreter is cleared for.

How are Mandarin calls billed?

Calls placed through IMP are billed per minute on either plan.
