Japanese translator needed on the weekend, Macon Ga

[fast306stang]

My elderly mom is in a nursing home, I can only visit during the weekends. She has reverted to speaking full Japanese...I can understand bits and pieces. The journey has been rough, and only parts are getting better, other parts are getting worse.

I need someone to come up here with me, you can ride with me and my wife, I'll buy lunch or dinner of your choice and pay $100 for 2 hours of your time. I want someone who can tell me what my mom is trying to tell me, but also to provide some conversation to my mom, I think she desperately needs someone who can communicate back and forth with her.

Yes I know about Google but it doesn't work when she can't speak loud enough for the mic to pick up her voice.

If you can't help, I'll gladly accept any prayers.

Thank you and God Bless.

Maybe give these folks a call?

There is a POC number at the bottom. They may know someone in your area that can help. You may try the courthouse. Sometimes they use translators. Not sure where to turn. Prayers for your mom sir.

I didn't know that existed. Thank you very much for the link, I will contact them and see what they say.

Just had another thought. If there are any authentic Japanese restaurants in your area, they may have dual language people on staff that could help. Let us know, we can keep searching. You’re very welcome.

Good idea! I think everything around me is kinda of fusion even though they're marketed as Japanese...but I bet I could ask around and find somebody that way.

Hospitals may be a source for a translator. They are required to provide one for almost all languages.

When she was in the hospital for a week prior to getting into a home, they were using Google translate. The current nursing home has someone who speaks only Russian and no one can translate for her.
