Translation and Interpretation What Is the Difference

Any discussion of translation and interpretation must be accurate in the meaning and definition of the terminology used Sometimes the terms are used interchangeably however they are different in practical application

Interpretation refers to the process of orally communicating from one language into another language

Translation is the preparation of a written text from one language into an equivalent written text in another language Both are language-related but they are not identical disciplines Each area requires expertise content domain knowledge training and practice Translation is used when referring to written texts and interpretation refers to oral speech

Translation Translating educational materials requires knowledge of basic terminology along with specialized vocabulary related to curriculum and local state and federal programs and policies It requires access to dictionaries and internet resources so consistency and widespread understanding of commonly used terms can be assured

Typical school and district written materials include bull School and district newsletters bull Studentparent forms and communications bull Report cardsprogress reports bull School-to-home communications bull School and district policies rules and regulations bull Medical forms and policies bull Emergency cards field-trip approval forms bull Homework assignments bull Testing schedules bull Special education documents and bull Individualized education programs

Interpretation Interpreting has several modes each requiring a set of skills that are acquired over time and must be maintained The ability to speak two languages does not ensure that the person can interpret effectively Essential skills for interpretation include knowledge of both languages and respective cultures the ability to listen a good memory and note-taking ability

Consecutive This mode is characterized by rendering spoken messages back and forth after each person has spoken It is defined as interpretation of an utterance after it has been completed one person speaks at a time The consecutive mode works well for dialogues or for question and answer sessions It requires note-taking skills and good memory This mode is recommended for working in educational settings such as in one-on-one or small group meetings

Simultaneous This mode is characterized by rendering a message from a source language into a target language almost simultaneously and slightly behind the speaker It is

defined as interpretation of an utterance while in progress The speaker does not stop talking and the interpreter must not stop either This mode requires an excellent command of both languages and highly practiced pacing and memory skills This system is used in some educational events with audio equipment for the interpreter and headsets for the target audience

Sight translation This mode involves the verbal translation of written text on sight It might be used for medical records foreign birth certificates foreign school records or legal documents required of parents or guardians of English learners This mode is challenging since there is generally no preparation time or materials

Paraphrasing This mode is characterized by simplifying and summarizing what is said This mode should not be used because it allows unintended biases omissions and inaccuracies to affect the final product and meaning Interpreters should completely and accurately interpret everything that is said

In any venue professional arena or public service activity interpreters should be informed of and should agree to uphold a code of ethics These ethics include confidentiality accuracy and completeness of interpretation impartiality disclosure of conflict of interest professional courtesy and participation in basic training and ongoing professional development

Typical interpreting scenarios include but are not limited to

bull Teacher to student bull Teacher to parent bull Paraprofessional to parent bull Administrator to student bull Administrator to parent bull Classified personnel to student bull Pupil services personnel (eg nurses counselors) to

student or parent and bull Local or state educational agency board meetings with

parents of English learners who testify or offer public comment

Students as interpreters Students should not be used as intermediaries in such situations The information being interpreted is often beyond the childrenrsquos comprehension and it is inappropriate for students to interpret when they their siblings or peers are involved unless the situation is a clear and immediate emergency

Some discussions with families involve discipline medical or mental issues or academic performance and may make the student uncomfortable and produce biased results Using the student as interpreter may lead to absence from class and loss of instructional time The information may be traumatizing and may lead to inaccurate information and misunderstandings Adults including teachers are often uncomfortable students as interpreters

Scheduling an Interpreter

Spanish bull Requests for an interpreter should be made to Student

Services 253-583-5154 Please include the time location meeting length and meeting topic

bull Individuals requesting meetings with an interpreter should schedule them one to three weeks in advance to help ensure interpreter availability including meetings for Individual Educational Plans (IEPs) and special education evaluation meetings should be scheduled

bull Requests will be accepteddeclined within one school day of being received

Other Languages bull Requests for an interpreter in another language should be

made to_ Student Services 253-583-5154 Please include the language time location meeting length and meeting topic Allow for two to four weeks to schedule

bull For languages other than Spanish we contract with interpreters from outside the district when possible This takes extra time Therefore individuals requesting a meeting with an interpreter in a language other than Spanish should send the request as soon as the need for an interpreter is realized

bull Student Services will assist the requestor with finding an interpreter If an ldquoin-personrdquo interpreter cannot be located the Language Line may be used

Guidelines for Working with Interpreters

For more detailed instructions please see Appendix B

When working with an ldquoin-personrdquo interpreter bull Prior to the meeting provide general information to the

interpreter regarding the circumstances of the meeting and pertinent details that will aid the interpreter

bull Get to know the interpreter bull Allow extra time for the meeting as information will be

stated twice bull Introduce all parties and hand over handouts bull During the meeting speak directly to the client (the

parent or student) For example ask the parent ldquoHow can I help yourdquo instead of asking the interpreter ldquoAsk himher how I can help himherrdquo

bull Speak in complete sentencesthoughts Be concise bull Speak clearly and slowly and avoid slang educational

acronyms and jargon bull Let the interpreter control the length of each segment and

arrange beforehand for himher to signal youthe client when to stop The general rule is two sentences at a time

bull Do not talk with the interpreter and thus exclude the client bull Everything that is said during a meeting must be interpreted

bull Explain clearly when the interpreter seeks clarification Avoid long explanations as the client may feel excluded from the conversation (Debriefing of the interpreter should be left for after the interview)

bull Avoid having side conversations while the interpreter is talking This can be distracting for the interpreter and family members who need interpretation leading to a loss of information

bull Some keys to effective communication across interpretation are checking for comprehension and encouraging full engagement of participants Please be sure to check with families regularly throughout the meeting to make sure they have a clear understanding of the material being discussed and that they have ample opportunity to contribute their own thoughts concerns questions feedback etc

bull Generally the client and interpreter leave at the same time

When working with a telephone interpreter bull Introduce yourself to the interpreter bull Brief the interpreter describe the telephone equipment

you are using (conference telephone dual handset single telephone) and where you are

bull Introduce everyone present to the client and describe the purpose of the meeting

bull Limit your communication to sections of manageable lengths The general rule is two sentences at a time

bull Pause often to allow the interpreter to speak and expect the interpreter to interpret everything that is said by yourself and your client

bull Keep in mind telephone interpreters rely entirely on linguistic input They have no visual cues (such as body language) to assist in the interpreting

bull Clearly indicate the end of the session to the interpreter

Telephone interpreting may not be appropriate if bull The meeting will be lengthy

bull Visual aids are needed or

bull Documents are needed as references

Guidelines for Requesting Written Translation Services

bull Submit requests for translation to Student Services as far in advance as possible

bull Allow for a two to five-working-day turn-around for legal and time sensitive documents

bull Allow for a two-week turn-around for all other documents bull Attach documents electronically in Word format Every

effort is made to keep the formatting of documents the same however this is not always possible

bull In your email request please include a specific subject line that includes the language needed

bull If you request an updated translation of a previously translated document please clearly mark exactly what changes have been made to the English version This will allow for a more effective use of resources and a faster turnshyaround time for you and families

4

bull Estimated response times will be provided Generally most Spanish translations can be completed within one week Translations for other languages will take longer as we need time to contract with out-of-district providers

bull All requests are prioritized by the Student Services department staff according to the guidelines in this manual

General Information Regarding TranslatingInterpreting

bull All parents and community members across the district should have equal access to translation or interpretation services to the extent practicable

bull Interpreters and translators provide communication from one language to another They do not offer advice or opinions nor judge the effectiveness or accuracy of the communication

bull All parties involved with translating and interpreting respect the need to be efficient and judicious in utilizing the resource Relevant information will be translated People working with interpreters must limit extraneous conversation and respect the needs of the interpreter at all meetings

bull Requests for translationinterpretation will be responded to in a timely manner Staff with emergency or time sensitive needs should expect direct communication related to expected turnaround times

bull Face-to-face or in-district resources should be utilized before going to out-of-district resources

bull Translators do not make corrections to text All submissions for translation should be in final form and no additional changes to text should be made

bull Users should refer to the Procedural Flowchart for clarification on translationinterpretation processes

APPENDIX A Tips for Working with an Interpreter in a Parent Conference Setting

Meet and Greet ndash Take a moment and meet with your interpreters before you begin Interpreters are asked to arrive about 10 minutes before the scheduled conference time Please introduce yourself and give the interpreter any background information that the interpreter may need For example ldquoMy name is Janet Smith Irsquom a 4th grade teacher and Irsquom the one who set up this conference We are going to review the studentrsquos IEP Have you ever done one of those beforerdquo

Meet the family ndash Donrsquot rely on the interpreter to introduce you to the family Make sure you greet the family and introduce yourself The interpreter will make hisher own introduction and give both of you information about the role of the interpreter

Make eye contact ndash You are going to communicate directly with the family not the interpreter Look at the family while you are talking to them The interpreter will relay the information you say to the family and back again but the conference is between you and the family not you and the interpreter

Speak naturally not louder ndash Speak at your normal pace you donrsquot have to speak S L O W L Y or loudly Itrsquos a good idea to speak in one or two sentences and pause for the interpreter Try to avoid breaking up a thought The interpreter will ask you to slow down or repeat yourself if necessary

Hold your peace ndash Avoid interrupting the interpreter Allow the interpreter time to express your message without butting in with more information Wait for the familyrsquos response to be interpreted and then add or ask another question

No opinions please ndash Do not ask the interpreter for his her opinion The interpreterrsquos job is to convey the meaning of the message Under no circumstances may he or she allow personal opinion to color the interpretation for you or for the family Also donrsquot hold the interpreter responsible for what the family does or doesnrsquot say

Everything you say will be interpreted ndash So avoid private conversations Whatever the interpreter hears will be interpreted Likewise any conversation between family members will be interpreted for you

Avoid jargon or technical terms ndash Letrsquos face it education is its own language This can make understanding how school works even harder for non-English speaking families Try to avoid using educational terms if possible or at least explain them

Nodding doesnrsquot equate understanding ndash In some cultures a person may say lsquoyesrsquo or nod as you explain something not meaning they understand but rather they want you to keep talking because they are trying to follow the conversation Allow everything you say to be interpreted even if it seems the family understands what you are saying in English

Take the time ndash When you are working with an interpreter the conversation often takes twice as long compared to the same conversation in English Many concepts you express have no equivalent in other languages so the interpreter may have to describe or paraphrase many terms you use Interpreters will often use more words to interpret what you said simply because of the grammar and syntax of the familyrsquos language With this in mind donrsquot schedule a long meeting for a short amount of time No one will leave satisfied

Ask questions ndash Try to learn more about your student and family during your conference This is a great time to build rapport with your family Likewise be open to any questions they may have for you Keep in mind that in some cultures itrsquos not traditional to question a teacher That doesnrsquot mean they donrsquot care it just may mean they havenrsquot assimilated completely into the American school system yet

Learn the culture ndash Interpreters may explain cultural differences or practices to you or other staff members when itrsquos appropriate This may take place before or after the conference is over

Use a qualified interpreter ndash Itrsquos always a best practice to use a qualified interpreter for any parent-teacher conference Qualified interpreters have received training to remain non-judgmental confidential accurate and thorough in their facilitation of the conversation It may be tempting and easier to use a student as the ldquointerpreter rdquo but therersquos no guarantee that your message will be conveyed accurately or completely

Appendix B Tips for Working with an Interpreter at a School Presentation

Get to know the Interpreter ndash Meet with the interpreter before the presentation begins This will give you time to explain the key points you want covered It also gives the interpreter a chance to get prepared mentally for the event This is also a good time to work out hand signals or gestures to make sure you are in sync with each other during the presentation (such as slow down pause or continue)

Make introductions ndash Introduce the interpreter(s) before you introduce anyone else in the room If you are not using head-sets your audience needs to know where to sit or stand to hear the presentation in their language Visible signs in different languages are extremely helpful For your English speaking audience knowing that someone is interpreting helps them to understand why someone is talking through your presentation otherwise your audience may give the interpreter dirty looks or attempt to quiet himher

Hand over the hand-outs ndash If you are using a power point make sure the interpreter gets a copy before the presentation begins If not make sure the interpreter has a copy of the agenda or outline with key points highlighted It is very hard to interpret everything you say while you are saying it A hand-out gives the interpreter a chance to see whatrsquos coming up

Pictures are worth 1000 words ndash Use pictures in your power point presentations Pictures are a universal language It makes your presentation much more interesting to all families This picture for example reinforces the message that school actually starts BEFORE 830 Understand that time is sometimes viewed differently in different cultures

Donrsquot be a comedian ndash You may be very funny in your staff meetings but unfortunately jokes donrsquot translate well and in fact may be offensive in some cultures

Be concise ndash Prepare half as much material as you would normally use because it will take twice as long to present it in English AND another language Many concepts you express have no equivalent in other languages so the interpreter may have to describe or paraphrase certain terms to help the audience understand your message

A lot to say Hire Out ndash If your presentation is long or you plan to go over a lot of rules and regulations hire a second or 3rd interpreter This allows the interpreters to tag-team the presentation so your key points arenrsquot lost by an exhausted interpreter

Gimme a break ndash Make sure you pause to allow the interpreter time to repeat what you just said That may mean writing in ( ) pauses or stop signs into your script so you donrsquot forget to let the interpreter have a turn

Watch and wait ndash After you pause wait until the interpreter is done speaking before you begin again

Complete your thought ndash You donrsquot have to take a break after every couple of words Instead complete a thought or idea and then pause for the interpreter to explain You want your English speaking audience to be able to follow what you are saying too

Whatrsquos the rush ndash Often when people speak in front of an audience they tend to rush or speak quickly Slow down and speak at a comfortable pace with scripted pauses This means you may have to practice but in the end both the interpreter and your audience will be glad you did

Stop the Jargon ndash Avoid using school acronyms and dense educational lingo If you use the acronym or the term be prepared to explain what it means Your English speaking audience will thank you too

Color Coding ndash If yoursquore including hand-outs in your presentation color-coding them will make it easier for your audience to stay connected in any language Itrsquos also easier on the interpreter to be able to reference a hand-out by color This means that whatever you are handing out will need to be translated before your event The interpreter cannot possibly interpret a hand-out thatrsquos only written in English during your presentation

Why do the limited English conversations seem longer than the English Language Line requires that interpreters be accurate and to the point They interpret in first-person for simplicity and brevity It is important to recognize that they interpret not only across languages but also across cultures You can help facilitate the interpretation by making your message easy for the limited English speaker to understand Clarification and or elaboration are sometimes needed to explain concepts that do not have an equivalent in other languages or cultures

I need an interpreterrsquos name How do I get it When the interpreter joins the call you will be given a unique Interpreter Identification Number for your interpreter Although interpreters will also identify themselves by first name the Identification Number is how Language Line can track their interpreters Write down the Interpreter Identification Number for future reference If you need additional information about an interpreter or a particular call please call Customer Service at 1-800-752-6096
