Interpreter Training (Clarifying)

[@iCantStayStill]

I remember I case where the client said "La página de arriba" and I said "the upper page" when after the conversation continued I understood it was a company called Arriba.

Excellent tips. I am an interpreter in Brazil, you helped me a lot

[@MrLePetitChef]

As an interpreter, this information is comprehensive and explains really well how to deal with clarifications. The only thing that I may add, and this may be superfluous, is when asking for clarification, in addition to informing the L2 interlocutor that you are asking for clarification, it's a good idea to inform the L1 interlocutor that it is you (in the 3rd person) who is asking for clarification and not the L2 interlocutor. Bravo for this video!

Excellent advice. I have seen interpreters lapse into the over-clarification trap, and it always has hurt their credibility. They think they're being helpful, but either they wind up looking like they're advocating for one side or the other, or they subtly insult the intelligence of one party or the other by implying that they've got to "help then out", which is patronizing.

+Troy Fullerton Thank you. You are absolutely right!

[@corystajduhar]

I totally agree. I clarify as little as possible. A lot of times, we are interpreting accurately and the other parties just need to ask each other clarifying questions. I do, however, clarify if the confusion is something related to a discrepancy in the two languages. By the way, it's a small world, Troy. I recognize you from Word Reference. We've chatted a few times about Spanish and interpreting.

[@richardmkbarnard]

great video! any advice on how to improve my memory when interpreting? I sometimes find it difficult to remember all that is said. thank you!😀

[@ClarityInterpreting]

There is no magic answer to improve memory. There are mental exercises to try to keep your brain active and retain information. Practice is key as well. However, the larger issue may be one of nutrition and adequate sleep to improve focus and retention.

To be certified it's more who you know than what you know. The certification process is a fucking joke!

I'm certified by CCHI and I don't know anybody personally in the certification process.
