ATA conferences never fail to disappoint, and this year was no exception!  The American Translator Association's 53rd Annual Conference in San Diego, California was the place to be this past weekend. Interpreter Education Online was in attendance and was pleased to meet everyone who stopped by our booth!

In addition to the many wonderful learning and networking opportunities, there were also quite a few interesting presentations.  Whether it was IEO's own Jennifer De La Cruz's "Essential Anatomy and Physiology for Judiciary Interpreters", Thomas Fennell's and Andrew Levine's "Dancing with a Dragon",  or "Author and Translator: A Success Story, Part II" by famous Italian author Beppe Severgnini, there seemed to be something for everyone!

If you attended the conference, we hope you were able to take advantage of satisfying your continuing education requirements.  If not, IEO can help.  IEO courses are approved for CEUs by several states and organizations, including ATA.  Visit our CEU page for more information.


Weren't able to attend the ATA conference this year?  Hopefully, we'll be ale to see you next year in San Antonio!

Hurricane Sandy's Breakout Star: Mayor Bloomberg's Sign Language Interpreter

As serious as this storm is, Michael Bloomberg's frequent press conferences have also provided New Yorkers a legitimate reason to smile: Her name is Lydia Callis*, and she's the mayor's official sign language interpreter, translating live on air as he delivers the latest news on Hurricane Sandy.

Medical interpreters help non-English speaking patients navigate health care

 The language of health care can be confusing. Medical terms are often long and foreign-sounding.

 They're terms most people never hear in daily life.So imagine going to a doctor's appointment or into the emergency room and not being able to speak English. Not only are the medical terms foreign, so is everything else.
