Monica Almada’s article is a sobering and grave reminder for each and every professional interpreter out there to take what we do seriously. Continual improvement, achieved not only by interpreting but by constantly educating ourselves, is an imperative if we are to do justice by all those we serve.

GOT PRIDE? And I am not talking about a big ego! There are some important factors that would benefit even the most seasoned interpreter and help move our profession closer to greater unity. Consistent behaviors and practices translate into a strong professional identity, which in turn helps the world understand our profession a little more. The daily struggles to differentiate ourselves from mere “bilinguals” are real. Check out Giovanna’s first of several posts on professionalism. Enjoy!
