Hello, welcome to the hospital. Do you need some assistance today?

Good answer:

I need some help because my English is not very strong. It would be easier for me if there is a translator who speaks my language. Could you please arrange that for me?

Which language do you need help with?

Good answer:

I need a Spanish translator because Spanish is my first language. It will help me explain my health issues more clearly.

Do you have an appointment today or is this an emergency visit?

Good answer:

I have an appointment today with a doctor, but I’m nervous about understanding everything. That’s why I think a translator will be useful.

Do you want the translator to be with you during the whole visit?

Good answer:

Yes, I think it’s better if the translator stays the whole time. That way I can ask questions and understand the answers clearly.

We will arrange a translator for you. Would you like us to also give you written information in your language?

Good answer:

Yes, please, because it will help me remember what the doctor says after the visit. Sometimes I forget details when I’m nervous.
