1. Translators (written) & interpreters (spoken/signed) convert messages from one language to another.
We work as in house (hospitals, courts, in-house) and, most of us, as freelancers (from home/office) and at schools, doctor's offices, courtrooms, you name it.
I purchased a ticket for my partner on @avianca.
I just realized that it does NOT include a suitcase.
How hard can it be?
I tried doing it online. How much, you ask?
USD $125
So, I tried contacting someone on their website.
Their solution? A WHATSAPP BOT

LOVE this movement full of sisterhood and buenas vibras! Fighting stereotypes together and making our abuelitas proud!
Studies show that Latinas face numerous biases in the tech industry — such as being seen as uncommitted or less competent after having children or coming off as 'feisty' instead of authoritative when they speak up. kqed.org/news/11986455/for-s…
As a translator into EN, this is a great tool to "bullet proof" when writing or translating into my B language.

Correction:
Translators write, interpreters speak.
Also, this guy had NO training or credentials.
He was just a bilingual guy who lacked ethics.

Estimado @CMP_PERU. Estuve buscando su pronunciamiento sobre el Decreto Supremo N.° 009-2024-SA del @Minsa_Peru y no lo encontré. ¿Saben por qué se usa el obsoleto ICD-10 en vez del ICD-11? El ICD-10 está en vigencia desde el 1ro de enero de 2022. Gracias.

¿Por qué está usando el @Minsa_Peru el CIE-10 en vez de usar la versión más actual (CIE-11) que está en vigencia desde el 1ro de enero de 2022?

This documentary does NOT provide recognition. It proves the lack of knowledge about language access that is pervasive in hospitals and schools.

And if you wonder what the Ho-Chunk/English dictionary looks like, here it is!
It includes examples of word usage, and even pronunciation!
Great effort of the Ho-Chunk nation to keep their culture alive and honor their elders.

Ho-Chunk Nation elders record their language to help keep it going

Me pregunto, ¿cómo le pondrán en español?
The W.H.O. is changing the name monkeypox to mpox in an effort to address the “racist and stigmatizing language” that critics said has harmed efforts to contain the disease. nyti.ms/3h0A09h

Not much has come yet from efforts to fix the effects of Alzheimer’s disease driven by APOE4 genes or to treat it with drugs. Gene therapy could offer a way. nyti.ms/3H9eV7o
