Celebrating Independence Day with Accessible Healthcare for All 🇺🇸💬 Hey there, as we approach the 4th of July, it's the perfect time to reflect on the importance of civil rights and independence in our great nation. While we celebrate the many freedoms we enjoy, let's also shine a light on a crucial aspect of equality: ensuring that everyone has access to healthcare, regardless of the language they speak. 🏥🌟 For limited English proficiency (LEP) patients, free access to healthcare interpreters is a game-changer. It's not just about understanding medical information; it's about being heard, respected, and empowered to make informed decisions about one's health. As a proud interpreter, I've seen firsthand the difference it makes in people's lives when they can communicate effectively with their healthcare providers. 👥💬 This Independence Day, let's celebrate the progress we've made in ensuring language access in healthcare and continue to advocate for this essential service. After all, breaking down language barriers paves the way for healthier communities and a stronger, more inclusive nation. 💪🌍 Let's keep the conversation going – what are your thoughts on language access in healthcare and the role of interpreters in bridging the gap? Share your experiences and insights in the comments below. 💭📝 Happy 4th of July, everyone! 🎉🇺🇸 #4thOfJuly #HealthcareInterpreting #LanguageAccess #IndependenceDay #xulingtheinterpreter #lifeofaninterpreter 🇱🇷 🇱🇷

Too often, first- and second-generation children have to play the role of language broker for their families. While there are positive impacts in low-risk situations, sensitive interpretation, such as medical appointments, can place undue stress on youth and their relationships with parents and grandparents. Also, interpreters make good money, so it's unfair to expect young people to perform these services for free, especially if the reason is that service providers cannot secure their own language resources. Service providers must strengthen their language access capabilities, so families never have to rely on their children for free and sometimes stressful labor. https://lnkd.in/eKFG78K9

#Armadillos are #mammals with a distinctive “armor”- a hard, protective shell covering their bodies. The name was given by Spanish explorers that spotted the creature as they were traveling through the #Americas and means “little armored one” in #Spanish. This unique protection against adversaries and predators has enabled the armadillo to survive for millions of years and very few mammals can match its resilience.   Interpreters, like armadillos, are the tough cookies of the language industry. They will make it to the #airport or #ConventionCenter come hell or high water. They will not be intimated by any bodyguard when they are accompanying a big name during their visit in town. They will always be prepared for the worst and have their snacks, umbrella, water bottles, power banks, etc. with them when they know nobody might be taking care of them.   You can trust the interpreters AIIC Consultant Interpreters recruit for your event will be reliable and as resilient as an armadillo.

A professional interpreter is not a cultural expert. They might identify or alert parties to a cultural misunderstanding, however interpreters should not be expected to explain or educate on it.

In 2021, Barcelona City Council has published on its official website this interesting interview with attorney Xavi M. S., about court interpreting in Barcelona. Unfortunately, there is a huge lack of professionals, mainly due to the almost non-existent investments in this field by the government. It's important to enhance and improve the legislation on interpreting and translation services in courtrooms and police stations. This is part of the Directive 2010/64/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of 20 October 2010 on the right to interpretation and translation in criminal proceedings. As a trained court interpreter, I have many times found myself not able to perform any duty because of the current situation. Measures aimed at training more interpreters or natives in specific languages are needed.
