Abstract

Studies highlight the potential of translation and interpreting as tools for social inclusion (Aguilar 2023; Pérez-González 2012; Tahirović-Sijerčić 2018; Todorova 2020). By facilitating communication between Roma and non-Roma populations, translators and interpreters can play a critical role in overcoming language barriers to education, healthcare, and other public services. This article will further expand the examination of Romani translation and interpreting as a social justice tool, allowing for alternative spaces (Baker 2013) for economic and social inclusion while at the same time advancing environmental protection. The activities of Romani interpreters and translators will be studied through the ethical lenses of engagement (Boéri 2023).
