Hmm, I know somebody that does interpreting for the deaf.

Of the many things she does, she translates for the deaf at trials.

Still think they don't need to be licensed?

Why? This could just as easily be taken care of the same way you get
okayed as an expert witness. I had testified many times before I got any
kind of certification. They asked about my training and experience, etc.
