An undefeated juvenile in his native Argentina, Interprete showed such remarkable form that year that he was named Argentina's champion miler in addition to garnering honors as champion 2-year-old male. He trained on to win the first leg of the Argentine Triple Crown, the Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos (ARG-I) and became a good stallion after his retirement. In North America, he is best known as the broodmare sire of 2006 American Horse of the Year Invasor.

He is a full brother to 1990 Premio General Las Heras (ARG-G3) winner Inimitable, dam of Argentine Group 3 winner Interdite (by Confidential Talk; dam of South African stakes winner Incomodo, by Roy).
Inaccesible, the dam of Intérprete, is a half sister to 1975 Polla de Potrillos (Argentine Two Thousand Guineas, ARG-G1) winner Ivanhoe III (by Gran Atleta), to Argentine Group 2 winner Imposibille (by El Virtuoso) and to Infinity (by El Virtuoso), dam of 1983/84 Argentine champion 2-year-old filly Isabela (by Liloy), Argentine Group 2 winner Ilimitada (by Ringaro), multiple Argentine stakes winner Infaltable (by Ringaro), and Group 1-placed South African stakes winner Inter (by Farnesio).

Inaccesible and her siblings were produced from the Pronto made Ilíada, whose half sister Ibila (by Hall of Fame) is the dam of multiple Argentine Group 2 winner Hardinge (by Hard Fighter). Ilíada, in turn, is out of Ibixona (by Birikil), a half sister to Tradition (by Noel), the second dam of two-time Argentine champion Fort de France and 1979 Gran Premio Jockey Club de la Proprietários de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (ARG-G1) winner Fortin Pampa.
