Commonly used for short, informal meetings, this service does not require any equipment. Unlike simultaneous interpreting, in which the interpreter translates in real time, the liaison interpreter translates short sequences of dialogue. This method is ideal for commercial negotiations or discussions. The skill of the interpreter will facilitate seamless communication.
Liaison interpreting is particularly suited to situations in which the interpreter has to be fully present. Here are a few reasons why this type of service might be the ideal choice:
Permits natural direct communication and adds a reflective pause that is sometimes helpful for participants.
When the interests of the participants diverge and discussions may become contentious, the interpreter’s intervention can calm tensions in his or her role as a third party. It’s a form of subtle diplomacy, which operates through requests for clarifications and other verbal communication techniques.
Liaison Interpreting is often used in situations where immediate communication is essential. Two examples of contexts where this service is commonly used:
Business meetings and negotiations
Job interviews or other internal company meetings
