LIAISON INTERPRETING
ABALIS recommends liaison interpreting when accompanying a small group of participants of varying nationalities. This often concerns business meetings, international trade fairs or commercial negotiations for small groups of people.
The liaison interpreter translates exchanges between participants or summarises the words of speakers to provide group dynamics and improve the discussion. The interpreter shall have the same mother tongue as the dominant language combination of the group of participants.
ADVANTAGES
- no equipment is required for this type of assignment;
- a single interpreter generally suffices to cover the needs of the assignment;
- low-cost solution.
WHISPERING INTERPRETING
ADVANTAGES
- no equipment is required for this type of assignment;
- a single interpreter suffices to cover the needs of the assignment.
ABALIS recommends this type of interpreting for interactions between a speaker and a single person. From a practical point of view, the interpreter speaks into the participant’s ear in the target language (the participant’s mother tongue).
A larger number of people requires simultaneous interpreting with the use of headphones to guarantee optimal listening quality to the participants requiring oral translation.
