Pope Francis’s translator in Thailand will be someone familiar with the nuances and colloquialisms of his Argentine Spanish because she grew up speaking it with him.

Salesian Sister Ana Rosa Sivori, the Pope’s second cousin and a missionary in Thailand for more than 50 years, will translate for Francis during his stay on Nov. 20-23 in Thailand, said Matteo Bruni, director of the Vatican press office.
