    Posted on behalf of member, Angela Sasso, Interpreter's Lab

    Dear Colleagues, 

    Apart from legislation/guidelines that support access to health care services in official (French and English) and sign languages, there are no legal frameworks that secure access to healthcare services for speakers of other minority languages – such as languages represented by immigrant and refugee communities. While professional membership organizations under the Canadian Terminologists, Translators and Interpreters Council (CTTIC), such as STIBC and ATIO, certify language professionals (community interpreters, medical interpreters, etc.) certification is not a mandate to provide quality language services. As we all also know, the practice across Canada has been, and continues to be a patchwork of approaches that still includes the use of family members, children and ad-hoc staff members to perform the work of an interpreter. These practices not only denigrate the profession, but they have the potential to cause irreparable damage to individuals and costly expense to the system. Study after study has consistently demonstrated that quality interpreting services always provide benefit. Without a clear legal framework, the use of inappropriate language resources will continue to happen. Practices that also involve using untrained, bilinguals as interpreters.

    I urge you to sign the petition that has been drafted by our esteemed colleague, Young Joe of Bilinguals International, which requests the Federal Government to:


    1.     Create an action plan for training and recruiting qualified medical interpreters

    2.     Institute a federal-level policy enforcing the use of trained interpreters in health care settings; and

    3.     Ensure mandatory training for health care providers on how to effectively work with interpreters.

    APRIL 25 AVRIL

    Two great industry events.
    Back-to-back on the same day!

    Deux grands événements
    du secteur langagier auront lieu l’un après l’autre dans la même journée!


    Spend your day sharing knowledge with translation and localization peers at the Localization Unconference on the beautiful University of Toronto campus, then unwind in the evening at AILIA's Rendez-Vous Toronto at the nearby Bedford Academy pub.

    The Localization Unconference is free of charge, but limited to 30 participants, so sign up soon! Lunch for Unconference participants is sponsored by AILIA. The
    Rendez-vous has a participation fee.

    These are two separate events on the same day: one during the day, and one in the evening. 
    Consacrez votre journée au partage des connaissances avec vos pairs du secteur de la traduction et de la localisation à la Localization Unconference, qui se tiendra sur le magnifique campus de l’Université de Toronto. En soirée, détendez-vous au Rendez-vous Toronto de l’AILIA, qui aura lieu dans le pub voisin, le Bedford Academy.

    La Localization Unconference est un événement gratuit, présenté en anglais, accueillant jusqu’à 30 participants seulement. Alors, inscrivez-vous rapidement! Le repas fourni aux participants de la Unconference est offert par l’AILIA. Des frais de participation sont exigibles pour le Rendez-Vous.

    Ces deux événements distincts auront lieu la même date : l’un pendant la journée et l’autre pendant la soirée. 

    Localization Unconference

    Localization Unconference

    This is the sixth annual Canadian edition of the Localization Unconference, an event that is held in many cities worldwide.

    The Unconference format is designed to facilitate a spontaneous, free-flowing exchange of ideas. In the opening session, participants suggest and promote discussion topics of their choice. They then vote to prioritize which topics will be addressed during the ensuing three to four sessions. The sessions themselves are moderated to ensure fluidity, but are not structured, per se. Prepared presentations are not given. Participants are expected to engage in the conversation to provide ideas, commentary, and counterpoint.

    Il s’agit de la sixième édition canadienne annuelle de la Localization Unconference, un événement qui se déroulera dans de nombreuses villes du monde entier. La formule de la Unconference est conçue pour faciliter un échange d’idées spontané et fluide. Lors de la séance d’ouverture, les participants pourront suggérer et défendre les sujets de discussion de leur choix. Ils voteront ensuite pour déterminer l’ordre des sujets abordés au cours des trois ou quatre séances qui suivront. Les séances seront dirigées pour être plus fluides, mais elles ne seront pas structurées à proprement parler. Aucun exposé préparé ne sera présenté. Les participants sont invités à prendre part à la conversation en proposant de nouvelles idées, en ajoutant des commentaires et en soulevant des contre-arguments.
    Localization Unconference Toronto is organized by:
    Oleksandr Pysaryuk, Localization Manager,
    Ceridian Richard Sikes, Linguistic Technology Consultant
