A method and system of providing language interpretation between a first person and a second person in visual contact with one another. The method comprises receiving from the remote language interpreter an audio signal emitted by the interpreter and video images of the interpreter; outputting the audio signal emitted by the interpreter; displaying the video images of the interpreter on a first display viewable by the first person while maintaining visual contact with the second person; and displaying the video images of the interpreter on a second display viewable by the second person while maintaining visual contact with the first person. In the case of sign language, the use of separate displays allows a hearing person and a non-hearing person to face one another while also viewing the interpreter.
