Interpreters Brought Halloween Traditions To The USA- Here’s How!

Interpreters are the ones who keep traditions and customs alive. By sharing them with a wider audience, who then encourage others to participate, interpreters ensure traditions and stories are passed on for others to share and enjoy. Interpreters are the links between the old and young, ensuring that the ways of old don't get lost. Think about the elders in your life- the ones who might have immigrated through Elis Island (in New York), Angel Island (in San Francisco) or maybe they crossed the Texas-Mexico boarder in the '80s. Whatever their stories involve that got them to United States, it's a strong probability that it doesn't involve English. So then how did we retain all these Halloween traditions from other countries? Through the children who were born on US soil, who were taught celebratory traditions from their homelands.

Translation Courses And Work That’s Required In Different Industries

Translation courses for bilingual adults can be used as a tool to kickstart a career change. Whether your goal is to transition into the healthcare, public service or legal industry- bilingual adults can find a lot of work that utilizes their language skills and suits their career goals.

As such, medical interpreter training is a good fit for someone who is personable, comfortable with public speaking and who doesn't mind having face-to-face interactions all day. A medical interpreter is someone who has devoted time and effort into perfecting their verbal communication skills, vocabulary and understanding of complex medical concepts into more than one language, so that they can easily relay communication back and forth between a doctor who might only speak English and a patient who might only speak Spanish. A certified translator on the other hand, is someone who has developed their written communication skills in multiple languages, to such a degree that they can easily understand and translate court documents, or medical records from one language to another. A translation certificate is required for adults who have already taken interpreting courses, but intend to work with source text that uses complex vocabulary and concepts.
