Titles, community interpreting and health care settings

摘要

Ann Corsellis pithily states in her 2005 "Training Interpreters to Work in Public Services," that "clarification of title is a useful beginning." In community interpreting, also known as public service interpreting, there are currently two primary approaches to title designation: the first addresses community interpreting as comprehensive of all interpreting that occurs at a community level, regardless of sector (health, legal and public services) and the second is title segmentation, whereby community and, largely, medical interpreting are recognized as distinct designations. Both approaches have been applied in different regions.
