Keynote description: Public service interpreting should be a must in some settings such as health and education services in order to grant citizens’ rights to understand and to be understood. However, linguistic presence in these settings depends heavily on policies at the country and even local levels. The result of this situation is that interpreting services in such settings are provided ad hoc by non-professional “interpreters”, usually relatives, friends, volunteers or “bilingual staff”. Therefore, non-majority language speakers are deprived of the right to understand and be understood. In settings such as education and health, this situation can lead to problems for non-Spanish speaking children and parents, and patients in the case of hospitals. Due to this de-professionalisation, there are no professional associations for public service interpreters. In this talk, the situation in Spain is presented and some comparisons with the state of affairs of public service interpreting in the United States are made. Alpha A.
