They shouldn't wear alot or jewerly, especially alot of dangeling earrings, bangel bracelets ect. And if they have long hair, it shoiuld be put up in a nice bun out of the way. Margie Dir. Cheri Prayers for my dad. Premium Member. I had interpreters, who dresses nice and others dress normal. It doesn't bother me as long nothing too freaky. Lnanaa New Member. I agreed that interpreters should dress professionally since it is a job after all.
One thing about the picture, I don't think interpreter should wear mini skirts or any skirts above the knee. Maybe it won't bother the deaf client but it can be distracting for others who can probably see "underneath.
Interpreter should dress to blend in the environment such as the college university. I had a professor who came to class teaching with flip flops, beach shorts, and tie dye shirts. I know I would feel out of place if the interpreter showed up too professionally dress for that class.
Most an interpreter wear dark uniforms, designed help with a deaf and visually impaired see clearly. So glad I found this discussion!! I am an interpretter for a church and several people including the friend I interpret the most for!
One thing I try to do I stand in front of a mirror and sign a few phrases before I leave to interpret somewhere. If I can't follow a few phrases in the mirror, I know that my friend would have difficulty following me for a whole hour in whatever I had chosen to wear. Thanks all for the input!!

I remember a teacher of the deaf talking to me about it a few years and we were discussing what kind of dress was appropriate for interpreters.
I found colours that were not dark the most distracting because of their hands being blurred with the colours. It's not such a problem at a close distance but further away, it does get tiring. I have eye problems as well, so it is even more important to me. However, most interpreters these days seem to ignore this and they wear whatever they feel like The most professional interpreters I have seen are the ones that follow the dress code very carefully.

It never happened to me before Mostly of them wear and show appropriate appearance and clothes. What about tongue studs? I once had an interpreter with one, and it was kinda distracting with all the metal glinting and all that. Because of this many deaf people can lip read. Some ASL interpreters, therefore, mouth words while making hand signs, for the benefit of hearing-impaired people who may not be as familiar with American Sign Language as those who are born deaf.
As well as hand signs, interpreters can use facial expressions and whole body movements to relate different uses of grammar and emotions. As a rule, you do not need a degree to become an ASL sign language interpreter.

We do not believe sign language interpreters need to revert to the CSUN smock days. We also believe that we have allowed ourselves to become complacent when it comes to holding one another and ourselves accountable. In it, he eloquently paints the picture of our current state of affairs, which we believe is still relevant today. In a practice-based profession like interpreting, polite disregard inhibits us from having difficult conversations that ultimately serve to compromise the integrity of the work.
The only way we will get from where we are, in a state of complacency, to where we would like to shift the field, is by insisting on a culture of mutual accountability where dressing appropriately is the norm. We propose that before every assignment, sign language interpreters ask themselves:. Do my attire and overall appearance reflect my commitment to appropriately represent the Deaf people with whom I will work, and the environment in which I will work? After all, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
