Translating Birth, Love and Death

The World
Two interpreters sit between US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Argentina's President de Kirchner.

Translator and author Nataly Kelly talks about interpreting 911 calls and "cupid calls."

Kelly has also translated poetry from a hybrid of Spanish and Shuar, a mainly Ecuadorian tribal language. She has co-written a book with Jost Zetzsche on the translation industry called "Found in Translation: How language Shapes Our Lives and Transforms the World."
