TRANSLATION TIPS-PREPARATION FOR THE INTERPRETER

1. Familiarize yourself with the material you will be translating.

2. Do not underestimate the intelligence of the audience. Education and wealth do not

determine a persons ability to understand.

3. Practice interpreting everyday conversations to get used to the mental process of hearing,

remembering and interpreting.

4. Use normal facial expressions and body motions to convey the thoughts expressed by the

speaker. You are the visual and verbal representation of the speaker's thoughts and feelings.

5. Use complete sentences or phrases whenever possible so that your audience is not left

"hanging" for the rest of the thought.

6. Convey the total idea rather than a word for word translation.

7. Never translate by saying "He said... (El dice que ...)." You are the speaker's voice - just say

it!

8. Non-Spanish speaking members of the medical team will be looking for guidance. Both

Americans and Mexicans will look to you to break the language/cultural barrier.
