World Mental Health Day: 10/10/2026
Every voice deserves to be understood.

Talking about mental health can be deeply personal. Expressing your feelings, experiences and questions in your own language matters.
This World Mental Health Day, Professional Interpreters, Inc. Recognizes the importance of language access in counseling, behavioral health and recovery services. Professional Interpreters help people communicate with their care teams and participate in conversations about their care.
Every language. Every voice. Every person.

Toda voz merece ser comprendida.
Hablar de la salud mental puede ser algo muy personal. Poder expresar tus sentimientos, experiencias y preguntas en tu propio idioma es importante.
En este Día Mundial de la Salud Mental, Professional Interpreters. Inc. Reconoce la importancia del acceso lingüístico en los servicios de salud mental y recuperación. Los intérpretes profesionales ayudan a las personas a comunicarse con sus equipos de atención y participar en conversaciones sobre su cuidado.
Cada idioma. Cada voz. Cada persona.

🌎✨ HAPPY INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION DAY! ✨🌎

Today we celebrate the amazing people who look at a sentence and think:

🤔 “Well… technically that’s what it says… but that’s definitely NOT what it means!” 😂

Our translators do much more than replace words from one language with words from another. They understand meaning, culture, tone, context, and all those expressions that simply refuse to translate nicely! 😅

At Professional Interpreters, Inc., we are incredibly thankful for the talented translators who help make communication possible across languages and cultures.

So today, we celebrate YOU! 🎉

Thank you for every carefully chosen word, every confusing phrase you somehow make sense of, and every document you help bring to life in another language.

Happy International Translation Day! 🌍💬❤️

Meet Jaime Zapata! 👋 Jaime is a Spanish medical interpreter who especially enjoys working in medical and dental settings. He has been interpreting since around 2009—and has spent his entire interpreting career with Professional Interpreters, Inc.

Originally from San Antonio, Texas, Jaime became an interpreter to honor his cultural heritage, keep using Spanish, and strengthen his language skills. His favorite part of the work is helping people make a difference in their lives. As Jaime puts it, making some money while doing it is a bonus! 😄

Outside of interpreting, you might find him cooking, creating 3D-printed resin models, or playing Dungeons & Dragons.

A note from DeAnna: “I remember when I first met Jaime. We were still a new company, and he was changing careers and a little nervous about it. We hit it off right away. He is loyal, passionate about this field, and makes super awesome food! Thank you, Jaime, for being a great interpreter!” 💙

Here’s the situation: A customer walks into a bank, finance office, or business meeting… and nobody speaks the same language.
The struggle? Now the loan officer is using hand motions, the customer is smiling politely while completely confused, and somebody says, ‘Maybe try Google Translate?’
Which is terrifying when you’re discussing mortgages, contracts, payments, or legal documents.
That’s where we come in.
Professional Interpreters provides qualified interpreters across Oregon for financial institutions, business meetings, HR departments, workers’ compensation, legal services, and community organizations — in person, by video, or phone.
Basically… we help businesses avoid making million-dollar decisions through charades.
I’m looking to connect with banks, credit unions, HR departments, accountants, attorneys, and businesses serving multilingual communities.
Because ‘I think that’s what they meant’ should never be part of the business plan.”
