“…Conduit models have been subject to detailed critique in the literature (e.g., Clifford 2004;Wilcox & Shaffer 2005;Hsieh & Hong 2010) and we shall see alternative understandings of role in some codes internationally. -Responsibility is seen as limited to language transfer alone: for example section 4ci of Impartiality states "Interpreters and translators are not responsible for what clients say or write.…”

Codes of ethics in translating and interpreting have become increasingly examined in recent literature, as practitioners in ever-widening fields of practice see such codes as essential in underpinning their professionalism. While such codes in various professions set standards for their association’s membership, codes in some sectors of translating and interpreting often have a wider function, detailing ground rules and techniques for practice and serving as educational documents, for users of services as much as for practitioners. The code of ethics developed by the Australian Institute of Interpreters and Translators [AUSIT] has been often cited in international literature as a broad, comprehensive generic code for professional practice. When this code was recently rewritten by its association, the wider functions of the code, as well as core considerations of practitioners’ role, conduct and autonomy were extensively debated. This article examines the issues that arose in rewriting the AUSIT code, drawing on international comparisons of how other codes have defined their central tenets.

“…In the latter case, this seems to be part of a wider trend toward attempting to rehabilitate impartiality (and sometimes neutrality) as respectable research terms, after researchers such as Metzger (1999) and Clifford (2004) among many others had found them wanting. What is notable about this attempted rehabilitation is that it does not appear to be based on any empirical evidence but instead looks to justify these terms theoretically.…”

This article applies Comparative Interpreting Studies to research on interpreting in religious contexts and the relevance of this literature to interpreting studies more broadly. Comparative Interpreting Studies is an approach that looks to plot the commonalities of all interpreting practice. It is argued that actual observed interpreter behaviors, rather than assumed professional standards, provide a justifiable unit of comparison. The behavior of interpreters in religious contexts is discussed, alongside the split between prescriptive and descriptive approaches to analyzing this behavior and the importance of spiritual and emotional aspects. Differences in research approaches on interpreting in religious contexts are shown to shadow debates within interpreting studies and thus offer insights that may be cautiously generalized. Such generalizations align with recent research in a variety of interpreting contexts and lead to a call for interpreting researchers to give more attention to the wider social, organizational, and personal contexts of interpreting.

“…Healthcare providers are the main agents communicating with foreign patients; therefore, their opinions, expectations, and evaluations on the availability and quality of interpreting services play a significant role in understanding the function and importance of healthcare interpreting and creating a professional framework for interpreters. For this reason, numerous studies have been carried out by the medical staff to underline the importance of communication between foreign patients and physicians in medical settings (Bischoff, 2020;Angelelli -Ross, 2021;Álvaro Aranda -Lázaro Gutiérrez, 2022;Bruno Echauri Galván, 2020;Delizée -Michaux, 2022;Gavioli -Wadensjö, 2021;Merlini -Gatti, 2015;Clifford, 2006).…”

“…Other studies in the literature focused on the position and emotional status of healthcare interpreters, and they underlined that interpreters should have empathy to understand the patients, manage small talks between the physician and the patient effectively, realize and interpret the communication beyond the words (gestures and facial expressions), and understand the psychological status of the patient in mental therapies (Álvaro Aranda -Lázaro Gutiérrez, 2022;Bruno Echauri Galván, 2020;Delizée -Michaux, 2022;Gavioli -Wadensjö, 2021;Merlini -Gatti, 2015). In his article, Clifford discussed the dimensions of fidelity in healthcare interpreting by pointing out that interpreters are human beings who take into consideration the psychological and physiological conditions of interlocutors (Clifford, 2006).…”

This study aims to investigate the role of healthcare interpreters in overcoming language barriers in Emergency Departments from the perspective of emergency physicians in Türkiye. Although there is a limited number of studies focusing on healthcare interpreting in EDs, they do not evaluate the opinions of ED physicians. Therefore, this study will be a pioneer research analyzing the importance of healthcare interpreting from the perspective of ED physicians in Türkiye. For this purpose, a questionnaire comprising 14 questions was prepared through the survey method to collect the opinions of emergency physicians about communication problems with foreign patients. The convenience sampling method was used to determine the study group consisting of 102 emergency physicians. The data was analyzed with descriptive analysis techniques by calculating the arithmetic mean and frequencies. After the data analysis process, it was found that communication problems in EDs lead to prolonged duration of taking anamnesis, delays in diagnosis, treatment, and discharge, extensive medical examinations, and unnecessary use of medical resources.
