INTERPRETING FOR PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

Interpreting for public authorities (e.g. courts, offices and the police) or for notaries, lawyers and experts, amongst others, is particularly demanding. A combination of simultaneous, consecutive and liaison interpreting is used in these situations. Which type of interpreting technique is used generally depends on the individual situation. In German courts, the interpreter usually interprets for one person into their native tongue. This is done simultaneously using whispered interpreting. Responses or statements by said person are usually interpreted consecutively into German as all participants in the trial are meant to understand the person speaking. When interpreting for public authorities, the interpreter not only acts as a language intermediary, but in many cases also as a cultural intermediary, thereby building a bridge not only between the two languages, but also between the two cultures.
