“Praise the bridge that carried you over.”— George Colman
In this essay I would like to explain how professional skilled interpreters can build bridges over language, cultural, racial and national differences.

It could be compared to building a bridge over the language barrier. The bridge would be weak if the interpreter will be not familiar with culture, religion and social status of the client. The interpreting bridge should contain good understanding of the background mentioned above and this will help to pass correct information between client and professional.
The real bridge should be build according to good knowledge of Bridge Engineering Principles, and then it will be reliable way on other side.

The Code of Ethic enables to regulate professional conduct of interpreters and to reflect the way services are provided, and also cover any issues of potential misunderstanding concerned with your interpreting. It states interpreter’s position on the issues listed above. Knowledge and appliance of a Code of Ethic is important in order to establish a clear
