Difficulty finding language interpreters?
|
At VISIONS we train and hire interpreters to be on staff part time. We also attempt to hire VRT and O&M staff that speak other languages. It is not easy but it is an agency commitment to provide services in the language of preference. from Nancy M. On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 11:12?AM Mona Hussein <monameah@...> wrote: Hello, --

Hi Mona, If you are concerned about resourcing any bilingual family members you might find volunteers in the clients local community. Places of worship and local libraries are definitely worth exploring. When I don¡¯t have access to an interpreter I have used the Google translate app. There are 32 language options available in ¡°conversation mode ¡°. It¡¯s simple to use and provides real time conversation.? Good luck! Katherine? On Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 11:13 AM Mona Hussein <monameah@...> wrote: Hello, --

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýHi Mona! ? If you do not need an interpreter to be physically present then I¡¯d suggest Language Link, you can get a live interpreter via phone without any pre-scheduling. Interpreters are available round the clock for multiple languages. I haven¡¯t used it for lessons, more for intakes but in a pinch it might meet the need. ?
