Read the first 6 CCL Interpreting Ethics and Standards flashcards as text

  1. What is the principle of 'impartiality' in the CCL code of ethics for community language interpreters?

    Answer: The interpreter refrains from taking sides and conveys all messages faithfully regardless of personal views

    Impartiality requires the interpreter to serve both parties equally without allowing personal views, values, or loyalties to influence the interpretation.

  2. What does 'confidentiality' require of a CCL certified interpreter?

    Answer: Not disclosing any information learned during an interpreting assignment to unauthorized parties

    Confidentiality obligates interpreters to protect all information from interpreted sessions and not share it without proper authorization.

  3. What should a CCL interpreter do if they have a personal conflict of interest with a community member they are asked to interpret for?

    Answer: Disclose the conflict of interest and withdraw from the assignment

    Conflicts of interest must be disclosed before the assignment begins so that an alternative interpreter can be arranged if necessary.

  4. Which of the following best describes the CCL principle of 'accuracy' in interpretation?

    Answer: Conveying the complete message without additions, omissions, or distortions

    Accuracy requires that interpreters render all information completely and faithfully, without filtering, expanding, or distorting the message.

  5. A community member tells the CCL interpreter something confidential that they do not want the service provider to know. What is the correct response?

    Answer: Explain to the community member that everything said during the session must be interpreted

    Interpreters must interpret all communication in the session; they cannot selectively omit information on a client's request.

  6. What is the ethical obligation of a CCL interpreter who realizes they do not understand a term or phrase in the source language?

    Answer: Stop and ask for clarification before proceeding with the interpretation

    Interpreters must not guess at meanings — they are ethically obligated to seek clarification to ensure accuracy.
