Where the demand is

Thai demand is lower-volume but consistent, concentrated in health care and occasional court work. It is sometimes confused with Lao at intake, which can delay finding the right interpreter.

What the supply number means

18 interpreters list Thai on Minnesota's public health care interpreter roster — a small pool that meets general demand when bookings carry adequate lead time.

Certification & qualification

No national certification exam exists for Thai; qualification relies on MDH roster registration, screening, and training hours.

What to expect from Lingfaro

Lingfaro is onboarding and vetting Thai interpreters across Minnesota in line with the steady demand this report documents.
