Language Interpreters are Valued

It may concern some that language interpreters don’t get the recognition they deserve for a profession that adds such value to the average consumer. To the contrary, many are beginning to understand and embrace the important role language interpreters and translating services play in environments like medical facilities.

In a hospital in St. Louis, Missouri medical language interpreters were given photography training and equipment to take pictures while giving interpreting services. These medical language interpreters also documented their thoughts and experiences in a journal for several weeks. In this case these language interpreters work with 83 different languages. Their photos and writing will be displayed at a local university campus until August, 2011.

The purpose of this exercise is to educate the general public on how to be active in your community and how to give back. Although language interpreters and translators require professional training, this gives a community the knowledge of how to enter into the translation service field and the benefits and rewards of doing so.
