Abstract:

"Getting information off the internet is like taking a drink from a fire
hydrant.” (Mitchell Kapor, n.d.). Medical concepts and terminology can be very
confusing for the uninitiated interpreter or translator. This book will allow
interpreters and translators to quickly read up on healthcare settings,
familiarizing themselves with anatomy, physiology, medical terminology and
frequently encountered conditions, investigations and treatment options.
Health translators working on medical reports will be able to find commonly
used abbreviations. Those who have been asked to translate health information
material into community languages will be able to gain a good basic overview
of related background information and crosscultural issues. Those who teach
health interpreters or translators will find this book helpful for structuring
their curriculum. Information is presented in a consistent, logical and
informative manner, intended to support, rather than overwhelm.
