Ben and Andy delve into ATA's 67th Annual Conference happening October 28-31 in San Francisco, California and how the conference program is intentionally curated for what language professionals need in this era of T&I.

E118: ATA's Language Access Cards for LEPs
2026/09/16
In this epsiode of the ATA Podcast, guests Olivia Caputo and Jamie Hartz tell us about Language Access Cards, a free downloadable resource from ATA that Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals can present in settings like hospitals and courtrooms to request assistance in their language and to prompt language services providers for assistance with language access resources. Historically, federal agencies and organizations that receive government funding have had to take reasonable steps to assist those who are LEP. If an agency or organization does not assist those who are LEP, it may be violating the law. ATA wants to help you access these services in your language!   Download the Language Access cards here: https://www.atanet.org/client-assistance/know-your-rights-to-language-access/   If you don't see your language or would like to volunteer to translate a version of the card, reach out at [email protected].   Show Notes: American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU): https://www.aclu.org/affiliates HHS Office for Civil Rights: https://www.stopbullying.gov/language-assistance-services Medicare: https://www.medicare.gov/ Social Security Administration: https://www.ssa.gov/ Language Access Resources by Location: https://www.atanet.org/client-assistance/know-your-rights-to-language-access Join ATA: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/join-ata/ Benefits of ATA Membership: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/benefits-of-membership/ The ATA Podcast Archive: https://www.atanet.org/news/the-ata-podcast/ ATA Events Calendar: https://www.atanet.org/ata-events/ ATA Socials: https://linkin.bio/americantranslatorsassn  The ATA Chronicle: https://www.ata-chronicle.online/ ATA's 67th Annual Conference: https://www.atanet.org/ata67/   Please send comments, questions, or requests about this podcast to [email protected].

2026/02/17
Preserving the past, supporting the present, and promoting the future of the translation and interpreting professions--That's the mission of the American Foundation for Translation and Interpretation (AFTI)! Since 1997, AFTI has served as the charitable arm of the American Translators Association. It is smaller in size and scope than ATA, so members and non-members may be unaware of the immense benefits they provide. In this episode, we sit down with AFTI chair, Caitilin Walsh, to talk about the history of the organization, what it is, and the many ways it supports language professionals. Tune in now and find out about AFTI's awards, scholarships, and the next AFTI game night!   AFTI supports charitable activities, education, and research in support of the translation and interpreting professions. They promote this objective by sponsorship and dissemination of research and education in the fields of translation and interpreting through research grants, scholarships, conferences, and commissions for the production of education materials. When you support AFTI, you're promoting a lasting legacy of T&I support, recognition, and excellence for your colleagues and the next generation!   Show Notes: American Foundation for Translation and Interpretation: https://afti.org/ AFTI on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-foundation-for-translation-and-interpretation-inc/about/ S.

E115: ASTM Standards on Language Services Explained
2026/01/15
Standards are a way to signal to the world that you care about the quality of your work and product, and it is up to us to set and encourage best practices in a given profession. When clients can't easily judge the quality of the services they purchase, they turn to standards to help gauge it. In this episode of the ATA Podcast, ASTM subcommittee chair and ATA member Steve Lank discusses the origins of ASTM translation and interpretation standards, how they were developed, and what they mean in practice for language professionals.   ASTM International is one of the world's largest international standards developing organizations, defining and setting standards to improve the lives of millions. Listen and learn how ASTM standards affect both language services providers and those receiving services by understanding what clients are looking for and what language professionals need to know to meet those expectations.   Show Notes: ASTM International: https://www.astm.org/ ASTM Standard Practice for Language Translation: https://store.astm.org/f2575-23e02.html ATA Certification: https://www.atanet.org/certification/ International Organization for Standardization: https://www.iso.org/home.html Join ATA: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/join-ata/ The ATA Podcast Archive: https://www.atanet.org/news/the-ata-podcast/ ATA Events Calendar: https://www.atanet.org/ata-events/ ATA Socials: https://linkin.bio/americantranslatorsassn  The ATA Chronicle: https://www.ata-chronicle.online/   Please send comments, questions, or requests about this podcast to [email protected].

E114: Making Community with Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
2025/12/15
The ever-changing landscape of working as a language professional prompts translators and interpreters to lean into unique areas and specialties. ATA offers a way to build communities around these interests in the form of officially recognized Special Interest Groups (SIGs). Similar to divisions, SIGs are a convenient way to provide ATA members the opportunity to build, connect, and grow with other linguists within their professional or non-working niche.   We are joined in this ATA Podcast episode by Robert Sette, CT, a longtime translator who works in many language pairs and is the founder of ATA's SIGs membership benefit. Tune in as Adam interviews him to hear more about ATA's current SIGs and what you can gain by joining or forming your own.   Show Notes: Mentoring Program: https://www.atanet.org/career-education/mentoring/mentoring-program/ ATA's Board of Directors: https://www.atanet.org/about-us/board/ ATA Divisions and SIGs: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/divisions/ Join Divisions and Special Interest Groups: https://communityhub.atanet.org/mydivisions Southeast Asian Languages SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/seal-sig-southeast-asian-languages/ Financial Translators SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/ft-sig-financial-translators/ Translators and Interpreters in Education SIG: https://www.atanet.org/special-groups/ite-sig-interpreters-translators-in-education/ Benefits of ATA Membership: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/benefits-of-membership/ ATA Membership Categories: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/member-categories/ American Association of Interpreters and Translators in Education: https://www.aaite.org/ Join ATA: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/join-ata/ The ATA Podcast Archive: https://www.atanet.org/news/the-ata-podcast/ ATA Events Calendar: https://www.atanet.org/ata-events/ ATA Socials: https://linkin.bio/americantranslatorsassn  The ATA Chronicle: https://www.ata-chronicle.online/   Please send comments, questions, or requests about this podcast to [email protected].

E112: Executive Order 14224 Explained with Dr. Bill Rivers
2025/07/15
On March 1, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14224 designating English as the official language of the United States and revoking EO 13166, an executive order from 2000 aimed at improving language access. On this episode of the ATA Podcast, co-host Adam Sachs questions Dr. Bill Rivers on the order, its effects on language access, and how it affects language services providers. Dr. Rivers joins us with experience spanning over 30 years of research, advocacy, and work in translation and language access, and this episode thoroughly examines the new EO using his insights and expertise.   Following EO 14224 being issued, six of the nation's leading professional T&I organizations issued a joint statement opposing the order. ATA stands with its members and the communities we serve, and ensuring language access for limited-English-proficient (LEP) individuals is a key part of ATA's mission. Voice your support for language access provisions by contacting your representatives and ensuring that the LEPs you engage with are aware of their language access rights, and listen to the ATA Podcast to stay informed and vigilant about this consequential topic and to hear other ways ATA is pushing back and standing up for language access.   Show Notes: ATA Divisions and SIGs: https://www.atanet.org/member-center/divisions/ ATA's Annual Conference: https://www.atanet.org/ata66/ Executive Order 13166: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/designating-english-as-the-official-language-of-the-united-states/ Executive Order 14224: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/08/16/00-20938/improving-access-to-services-for-persons-with-limited-english-proficiency Joint Statement on the Trump Administration's Executive Order 14224: https://www.atanet.org/advocacy-outreach/leading-language-organizations-oppose-executive-order-14224-warn-of-potential-consequences/ Lau v.
