It is pivotal for a legal interpreter to be specialized in the field and be aware of the common mistakes that are usually made in court in order to avoid those. It is advisable to refer to a professional and renowned agency when it comes to hiring a professional translator/interpreter, as they can assure a professional as well as qualified court interpreter, who will fit your requirements as well as take care of the relevant logistics. <a href="http://www.rosettatranslation.com/interpreting-services/" rel="nofollow">Interpreting services</a> provided by recognized translation services can secure a fluent, professional, accurate and error-free interpretation of the statements expressed before the law. shivakumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627916393560150843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177089889223551852.post-11379931294842948512012-12-04T10:56:55.763+00:002012-12-04T10:56:55.763+00:00"If you are an interpreter, at least you can ..."If you are an interpreter, at least you can take solace in the fact that you're not a banker who has thrown the world into ruin!" Hm, I think there are other important things are stake here, if you're an interpreter. I guess you don't necessarily throw the world into ruin, but you can throw somebodys' world into ruin by conducting an inappropriate interpretation. I believe that, just like doctors (of course I'm not trying to compare linguists with doctors) we have the ethical obligation to do what were are meant to do: Interpret/Translate, and not become somebody's lawyer..Someone is already there to do the job. We represent words and not parties when it comes to legal interpreting. Then again, its a personal matter. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177089889223551852.post-6383951332791584102012-10-20T21:56:53.633+01:002012-10-20T21:56:53.633+01:00You are right, Alice.

The task of an interpreter is transposing a sentence in another language without filtering or modifying it according to his/her opinion on the matter. I agree. But if it someway means to become a tool, it doesn't imply for you to become a machine as well: being human means also be potentially able to refuse a particular task if it doesn't suit your own beliefs and/or if you think there's something wrong with it. I think professionalism goes hand in hand with self-respect and integrity.Alice in Translationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702699628604634560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177089889223551852.post-28449992143228560232012-10-19T18:29:16.905+01:002012-10-19T18:29:16.905+01:00You have well pointed out a dilemma that an interp...You have well pointed out a dilemma that an interpreter is likely to face. There is, however, a question: How many people are there who prefer morality to material gains??? Very, very few... I think you would agree with me that, giving up personal moral preferences, is now largely considered to be a sign, and a requirement, of professionalism. In this world of sheer professionalism, there are only a handful who think with such level of sensitivity:(Muhammad Salman Riazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672796253788654248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177089889223551852.post-51034221859222183952012-10-19T12:08:06.130+01:002012-10-19T12:08:06.130+01:00The question is, is morality negotiable?
