interprète
Typo pour "interpreter".
Note from asker:
| It is not a typo (that's what I thought myself at the beginning). Interpreter and interrupter seem to have two different functions. |

: C'est le seul mot qui me vient à l'idée ... mais le demandeur insiste que ce n'est pas une erreur de frappe! J'y perd mon latin! Ce n'est certainement pas un interrupteUr ...

: cf mediamatrix ...un virus que je qualifie d'exotique ou la différence pour certains, que l'interprète est diplômé et l'autre pas, mais peut servir d'intermédiaire traducteur (donc interrompt souvent) ....

interrupteur
Un interrupteur serait une personne qui tenterait de porter un regard objectif sur la situation en cours et ne tiendrait pas compte du discours plus "convenu" des autres parties.
Il est là pour assister (aider) le client à comprendre la procédure (?) voire à argumenter pour lui.

interrupter --> interpreter
'interrupter' can be found in several 'serious' websites in connection with immigration procedures, as here where it is blatantly obviously that it should be 'interpreter':
http://www.lawyersforemployers.com/legalservices/practice/hc...
Subject: interrupter
Message: The majority of patients seen in this practice do not need an interrupter - they either read or speak the English language. This practice has made available the NPP in English only - with that said are their any obligations to make available the NPP in other languages? obtain an interrupter if there is a communication barrier between the patient and the staff/physician regarding the NPP?
No doubt there's a problem of incorrect terminology propagating through the system, like some kind of virus.

Maybe somebody made an initial translation error, followed by a global search and replace.
