PALS for Health’s Health Care Translator Training is conducted over the span of 8 hours. The training encompasses guidelines for translators, the different roles and responsibilities of the translator, the core values of written translation, and the necessary skills set for reading, understanding, reviewing, adjusting the register (i.e. readability of the document based on a specific level of literacy, such as a 5th grade level) of document, and producing quality translated document.

To help translator enhance their translation skills, PALS for Health offer one-day, 8-hour, comprehensive translation training. Historically, the 8-hour translator training, which is not language-specific, covers the process of translation, skills and resources for a new translator. Training graduates are then invited to participate in an exercise with a language-specific translation coach, who reviews and provides feedbacks on the translation product. Technique and style will be discussed and coaches will work with the participate one-one-one to identify areas that need improvement and practical guidance on how to enhance those areas. Producing a translation product within a culturally competent framework is also a topic that is addressed through out the training process. Please visit our Events page for information on upcoming translation training.
