Over the phone interpreting is when someone who speaks two different languages helps people talk to each other on the phone. The person who needs help speaking a different language calls a special phone number and is connected with the interpreter. Then, the interpreter helps translate what the person is saying to the other person on the phone who doesn't speak their language. The interpreter also helps translate what the other person is saying back to the person who needs help. This helps people who speak different languages communicate with each other on the phone, even if they don't understand each other's language.
