Today, the world is rapidly becoming more interconnected.  It is fast-paced and forever advancing. Just as we experience these significant changes on a daily basis, our children will be witness to even more advances.  It is up to us as parents and future parents to help guide them to success. The decision to teach our children more than one language is one of the most important and beneficial choices we can make.  Sure, they’ll inevitably be enrolled in a French or Spanish course later on in their education career; however, children, have a far superior learning capacity until their teens.  We as parents can provide our children with a head start to success by simply teaching them a second language!

Translationz donated a translation in lieu of Mother’s Day! And what better way to say it than with a poem?

As if school teachers and administration staff don’t have it tough enough these days--add communication complexities between families and school staff to their list of difficulties. 

According to the National Center for Education Statistics, 18% of the total population aged 5 -17 (around 47 million people) in 2000 reported speaking a language at home other than English; a continuous increase from 14% in 1990 and 11% in 1980.

It was a day to be noted in translation history! On November 25, 2012 Roman Catholics officially began using the new Roman Missal-- the book that details the celebration and spoken prayers of the Mass. Translators, linguists and clergymen alike have dedicated nearly 10 years consulting to help enrich the English language of the original Latin script. Both priests and the congregation will be repeating these new words. The rest of the tradition in the mass will remain the same such as the positioning and gestures.

 

Medical Interpreters Can Save Lives

Imagine experiencing a severe medical issue and being unable to communicate with the medical staff. Picture being at your child’s side in an uncomfortable hospital bed and not understanding the doctor’s explanation of the diagnosis.

Many patients face these scenarios each time they seek medical care in Canada and the U.S., as approximately 60 million North Americans do not speak English in their homes according to the U.S. Census Bureau. With Translationz, our medical interpreters can help!
