L’interprète culturel est un professionnel qualifié qui transmet toutes les données de la communication verbale et non verbale dans la plus grande confidentialité. Il aide le client et le professionnel à comprendre les valeurs, les concepts et les pratiques culturelles de l’autre, en adoptant une position de neutralité et un niveau de langage adapté à ses interlocuteurs. Sa grande force réside non seulement dans sa connaissance mais aussi dans sa capacité à établir un pont entre deux cultures. 1, record 2, French, - interpr%C3%A8te%20culturel
