People from various ethnic backgrounds have always been part of Austria’s population. Only in very rare cases do professional interpreters facilitate communication in everyday life. Relatives or persons with traumatic migration experiences translate and interpret for doctors and authorities. This is particularly problematic in situations of crisis. Şebnem Bahadır-Berzig researches how communication can succeed in multilingual societies. She draws attention to the needs of mediators.
