Secondly you have to be trained as an interpreter, not only know the language. I am a trained and certified interpreter and this cannot be a reputable business just by the fact that they don't even know what is required to be an interpreter.

Data coverage is different outside the US. I am sure someone like Mr. Cuban has a fancy global satellite phone while he is traveling but the rest of us is dependent on whether or not a local data service is available.

I went over to the website and took the Korean translation test since I have been learning it since 2005 and it is humbling to realize how much one doesn't know of his second language, even after studying it for almost 10 years.
