Specialist Books and Resources for Interpreters and Translators
"A Training Handbook for Health and Medical Interpreters in Australia" is a surprisingly good book for interpreters. It gives me insights into the medical field as it is well researched and thoroughly easy to read" states Angela Lam, an interpreter in the Mandarin and English languages.
