Since they work with the spoken word, interpreters are orally fluent. They know the spoken customs, regionalisms, and colloquialisms of each language. What they don’t do is convert word by word. Trying to interpret that way would never let the original meaning come through in real-timeboth parties would wind up confused. That’s why paraphrasing lies at the heart of interpretation. Interpreters listen to the spoken words, understand their meaning, and transform them into new words in the target language.

Is the face to face interpreter qualified to perform the service? When using a staff interpreter or a contract interpreter, the facility should take steps to ensure that the interpreter has met the hospital’s qualification standards. A person may be bi-lingual in the language needed but a hospital must have an assurance that the interpreter has the requisite skills to act as an interpreter.

In cases where a patient insists on using their own interpreter, it is in the best interest of the hospital to have their own interpreter on site to ensure that the interpretation provided is consistent with the message being delivered.

In the end, we recommend NDAs. But, within minutes, one will know if the interpretation company\Interpreter is trustworthy. At Ortiz Interpretation, we simply believe that exposing client information would betray so deeply the spirit of the profession, that it is unthinkable. It will also create a permanent conflict inside the interpreter, damage his integrity as a professional, and will make future practice impossible or hypocritical. Since 2001, we have earned the trust of our clients!!!
