Abstract
Despite its superior status and prestige, and the rapid growth of its speakers in the last two decades, French speakers represent a minority because national languages remain the major languages of communication. The linguistic and cultural diversity of Burkina Faso justify the relevance of interlingual translation and communication for health. This article makes an inventory of interlingual translation and communication for health in Burkina Faso. Then, it analyzes some data on translation and communication in order to identify the obstacles to interlingual translation and health communication. Finally, it makes some recommendations that will enable effective interlingual translation and multilingual communication and thus contribute to improving the health of populations.
