Ingrid Piller speaks with Jim Hlavac about interpreting to bridge language barriers.
About 5% of the Australian population do not speak English or do not speak it well. In this conversation, Dr Jim Hlavac, an experienced interpreter and interpreting trainer, explains how professional interpreters, language mediators, and language brokers help to support fair and equitable access to healthcare and other forms of social participation.

The conversation closes with the million-dollar question: will AI take interpreters’ jobs?
