BRIDGING THE GAP: THE CRITICAL ROLE OF TRANSLATION IN ONE-HEALTH PROGRAMS

Abstract

One-Health programs aim to integrate human, animal, and environmental health to address complex global health challenges. However, language and cultural barriers pose significant challenges to effective communication and cooperation. This paper explores the role of translation in bridging cultural divides and building a stronger future for One-Health programs. We examine the challenges and opportunities of translation in facilitating One-Health programs. Our analysis highlights the importance of translation, and best practices for translation in One-Health.  We conclude that translation is a critical component of One-Health, enabling effective communication, building trust and foster cooperation.
