The paradox: Texas has a large population of Spanish speakers, which makes interpreting services both more necessary and more neglected. Oftentimes, administrations rely on Spanish-speaking colleagues, staff, and relatives to communicate information. This practice is outdated, discriminatory and, in some cases such as healthcare settings, dangerous.
Most people have just never thought through the importance and fairness of receiving information in your primary language. Professional interpreters have been trained to move information between two languages accurately, smoothly, and efficiently without adding to, omitting, or changing the meaning of what is being said. They are trained to work under pressure and are fluent in the specific vocabulary in the context in which they work.
In addition to ensuring accuracy, a professional interpreter also guarantees impartiality. Having a third-party professionally trained interpreter eliminates potential conflicts of interest, allowing for truly effective and accurate communication.
