Yes, our team of interpreters are experienced in both types of interpreting.
Every interpreter at Morales language Services follows these core ethical principles:
1. Accuracy and Completeness
Interpreters are expected to convey everything that’s said—faithfully, without adding, omitting, or altering meaning.
This includes tone, intent, and even offensive language.
2. Impartiality / Neutrality
Interpreters don’t take sides, give opinions, or advocate for either party.
3. Confidentiality
Anything an interpreter hears stays private.
No discussing cases with friends, no posting “anonymous” stories online.
4. Professional Boundaries
An interpreter is—not a helper, advisor, or cultural broker unless explicitly required.
Neutrality is preserved in every interaction.
5. Competence
Interpreters only accept assignments they are qualified for.
In the rare case one of our interpreters doesn't understand the terminology or context, they will say so.
There's no guessing or “winging it”.
6. Integrity and Professionalism
Interpreters are honest about their qualifications, they arrive prepared, and conduct themselves professionally.
This includes correcting their own mistakes transparently when they happen.
7. Respect for All Parties
Interpreters treat everyone with dignity, regardless of personal beliefs or the content being interpreted.
This matters most in difficult settings (legal, medical, or conflict situations).
