Good!
Language should be a skill, not an entire job.
I have worked with both good and bad 09Ls; local national, DAC, and Contracted interpreters; and Intel folks with a language. Out of all of those, I trusted the translations of my 09Ls least (and some less than others). Even less than the Intel folks who were only a 1/1 on their DLPTs. At least they told me when they weren't sure of something.
