    E113: The Ins and Outs of ATA Certification
    Aug 15 2025
    Are you interested in taking the ATA certification exam? Want to know what to expect and how it works? In this episode, ATA Podcast host Adam Sachs interviews Elias Shakkour, co-deputy chair of ATA’s Certification Committee, to understand the ins and outs of ATA certification. Elias shares insights into the certification program and also explains how it works, how to prepare, how it's graded, and how to get the most out of your results. ATA certification is one of the industry's most respected credentials for translators and is the only widely recognized measure of competence for translation in the U.S. ATA-certified translators earn a distinction that can open doors to career advancement and higher compensation. Adam and Elias discuss this distinction and much more in this episode of the ATA Podcast!

  • E112: Executive Order 14224 Explained with Dr. Bill Rivers

    E112: Executive Order 14224 Explained with Dr. Bill Rivers
    Jul 15 2025
    On March 1, 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14224 designating English as the official language of the United States and revoking EO 13166, an executive order from 2000 aimed at improving language access. On this episode of the ATA Podcast, co-host Adam Sachs questions Dr. Bill Rivers on the order, its effects on language access, and how it affects language services providers. Dr. Rivers joins us with experience spanning over 30 years of research, advocacy, and work in translation and language access, and this episode thoroughly examines the new EO using his insights and expertise. Following EO 14224 being issued, six of the nation’s leading professional T&I organizations issued a joint statement opposing the order. ATA stands with its members and the communities we serve, and ensuring language access for limited-English-proficient (LEP) individuals is a key part of ATA’s mission. Voice your support for language access provisions by contacting your representatives and ensuring that the LEPs you engage with are aware of their language access rights, and listen to the ATA Podcast to stay informed and vigilant about this consequential topic and to hear other ways ATA is pushing back and standing up for language access.
