Indigenous Interpreters Provide Missing Link for Natividad Medical Center Patients (fwd link)

[Phillip E Cash Cash]

"Today Natividad boasts more than 100 interpreters who are available to
interpret roughly a dozen indigenous languages such as Triqui, Zapoteco,
Náhuatl, Purépecha, Tlapanec, Amuzgo, Yucatec Maya, and Mam. To be sure,
they have not received the education or the high-level training students of
translation and interpretation programs receive. In fact, many of
Natividad’s interpreters do not even have a high school diploma, but they
have language skills most people looking for a career in interpreting do
not have the opportunity to develop."
