This document discusses ethical considerations for translators. It outlines a code of ethical practices that translators should follow, including translating with fidelity and accuracy, maintaining client confidentiality, only accepting assignments for which they are qualified, sharing professional knowledge with colleagues, avoiding actions that discredit the profession, and refusing work for illegal or dishonest purposes. It also stresses the importance of discretion when handling personal documents as a translator's obligation to maintain confidentiality is as binding as other professions like doctors and lawyers. An inaccurate translation can cause more problems than no translation at all.

An inaccurate translation can cause for more problems than no translation.
CODE OF ETHICAL PRACTICES  IT SHALL BE THE DUTY OF EVERY TRANSLATOR
 To translate with the greatest fidelity and accuracy he can command.  To maintain professional discretion and in particular to respect the rights of his client.  To accept no assignment for which he knows himself to be less than well qualified in either language or understanding of the subject.  To share professional knowledge with colleagues on a reciprocal basis.  To refrain from any action likely to discredit the profession.  To seek or accept no work on terms that are humiliating to him or the profession.  To refuse to illegal or dishonest purposes, or against the public interest.  To be loyal to his colleagues and to his profession and to agree to settle professional differences by arbitration whenever possible.
CARE OF PERSONAL DOCUMENTS  It is vitally important that great discretion be exercised in caring for such documents.  The translator's obligation to respect confidentiality is as binding as that of the psychologist, priest or physician.
