How Assistive Listening
Systems Support
Courtroom Interpreting
Interpreters may encounter diverse
types of assistive listening systems
in courtrooms. Each system helps
listeners hear better by delivering
clear audio directly to their ears, but
the technology used to achieve that
goal can vary. This is what courtroom
interpreters should know about
assistive listening technologies.

Translating and Harmonizing
Health Questionnaires:
Navigating the Complex
Journey
Harmonizing health questionnaires
is a complex journey that requires
addressing linguistic nuances, cultural
sensitivities, and logistical challenges
through smooth teamwork. From my
experience, successful harmonization
hinges on overcoming obstacles like
team dynamics, time constraints,
communication gaps, and technological
limitations. Close collaboration among
project managers, developers, and
translators is essential to ensure
translations are both accurate and
culturally respectful.
