It has never been a requirement to use a signed interpreter - that's just
one way of preventing your users from contravening the license. What is
appropriate depends on the nature of your application and the nature of
your users. Ultimately it's your decision as you are responsible. I'm happy
to have a separate conversation if you have something specific in mind.
