According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO):
Interpreting is the act of rendering a spoken or signed message into another spoken or signed language, while preserving the register and meaning of the original content. (ISO, 2014, p. 1)
Liaison interpreting involves quickly understanding and transferring messages between languages. It is typically performed face-to-face in small group settings. The interpreter may stand between two people or beside the speaker addressing a small group, translating either:
-
Consecutively – after the speaker has finished, or
-
Simultaneously – in real-time as the speaker talks.
This type of interpreting is used in a wide range of situations, including business meetings, court hearings, hospitals and healthcare centers, social services, and national or international institutions.
Whether you’re working with a Spanish-speaking client, hosting an international Spanish-speaking group at your school, or coordinating a tour at a healthcare facility, I can provide professional liaison interpreting to ensure clear, accurate communication.
