THE PRINCIPLES OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOR
* The interpreter/transliterator shall keep all assignment-related information strictly confidential.
* The interpreter/transliterator shall render the message faithfully, always conveying the content and spirit
of the speaker, using language most readily understood by the person(s) whom they serve.
* The interpreter/transliterator shall not counsel, advise, or interject personal opinions.
* The interpreter/transliterator shall accept assignments using discretion with regard to skills, setting and the consumers
involved.
* The interpreter/transliterator shall request compensation for services in a professional and judicious manner.
* The interpreter/transliterator shall function in a manner appropriate to the situation.
* The interpreter/transliterator shall strive to further knowledge and skills through participation in workshops,
professional meetings, interaction with professional colleagues, and reading of current literature in the field.
* The interpreter/transliterator shall strive to maintain high professional standards in compliance with the Standards
of Ethical Behavior.
AN INTERPRETER'S GOAL IS TO MAINTAIN THE CODE OF ETHICS AND IN DOING SO, THE RIGHTS OF THE
INTERPRETER AND CONSUMER ARE PROTECTED.
Professional interpreters comply with a set of ethics that are established to protect the rights of the consumers of
the service, as well as to protect the interpreter. There are three main concepts associated with the Principles of Ethical
Behavior: Confidentiality, Impartiality, and Integrity. The interpreter applies these concepts in a variety of situations
for the delivery of quality services to consumers.
