Where these came from

All 131 come from one place, Costa Rica's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some of these are official translators and interpreters appointed by Costa Rica's Ministry of Foreign Affairs under Ley 8142. The languages shown are the ones each person is appointed in.

All 131 sit on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.
