With the continuous improvement of China's status in the international arena and the increasing frequency of foreign-related exchange activities, the demand for interpreters is also rising, and the importance of liaison interpreting is becoming more and more prominent. So, what exactly is liaison interpreting and what are its special requirements?
Liaison interpreting is when an interpreter transitions between two languages in real time to ensure a smooth communication. Different from other types of interpreting, liaison interpreting focuses more on practical communication in daily life, covering a wide range of aspects, such as picking up and dropping off guests, scheduling, business visits, and tourism reception. In this process, the liaison interpreter not only takes on the important role of interpreter, but also serves as a reception and tour guide to ensure that the needs of foreign guests or clients are met.
To be competent in this role, liaison interpreters need to be multifaceted. First of all, they need to have a solid language foundation and translation skills, which are the basis for completing the interpreting task. Secondly, good organization, coordination and adaptability are essential. In large-scale events, they need to know what to expect in advance and develop coping strategies; At the event site, they need to be keenly observed and judged, and deal with emergencies in a timely manner. In addition, liaison interpreters need to have strong cultural literacy and cross-cultural communication skills. When communicating with people from different countries and cultural backgrounds, they need to understand and respect each other's customs and habits, and avoid misunderstandings or conflicts due to cultural differences.
