The Institute of Near Eastern & African Studies (INEAS) is pleased
to announce the launching of the project of Special Privileged Members
(SPM) for hospitals/clinics and law firms in the States of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island.
Hospitals, clinics and law firms will benefit from this project by
becoming Special Privileged Members of INEAS. The annual dues will
guarantee SPMs the following benefits:
1. The ability to hire translators/interpreters in the
following Asian and African languages: Arabic, Armenian, Bosnian*,
Chinese, Dari, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Persian, Swahili,
Turkish & Urdu.
2. Medical and legal interpreters are paid on hourly basis for a minimum
of three hours per assignment with a requirement of 24-hr notice for
medical interpreters and 48-hr notice for legal interpreters. Interpreting
hourly rates are reasonable.
3. The in-need-of-interpreters departments or staff at hospitals/clinics
and law firms get yearly (in house) orientations of up to three hours,
which will include signing-up, renewal and cancellation policies,
instructions about the project and how best to utilize the interpreters
pool and other related information.
4. The medical/legal providers are able to call INEAS once a week
to get information and advice pertaining the patients’ and legal
clients’ cultural needs. This may or may not be related to an
interpreting session.
5. Written translation rates are more reasonable than for-profit companies’
rates. An advanced notice of at least five business days is required.
6. SPMs are able to teach their staff/providers some necessary terminology
and expressions in any of the languages offered by INEAS for a reasonable
hourly rate. This will be useful in the regular communications between
SPMs and their clients and patients.
7. The Institute of Near Eastern & African Studies (INEAS) will
interview and evaluate translators’/interpreters’ experience,
efficiency and professionalism.
8. Due to the educational nature of the project, members will be receiving
email information about Asia and Africa to better enhance their understanding
in dealing with clients and patients.
The TIHOLAF project is, in general, flexible: SPMs are free to make
suggestions and participate in implementing some new sub programs
or special workshops for improvement.
* Bosnian is neither Asian nor African. It is an Eastern
European language.
