Interpreting at Factory Visits

This session will be presented by lawyer - linguist Sue Leschen who regularly interprets at factory visits. The session will be terminology rich and will be of interest to all colleagues who are already working in this area and especially useful to those looking to get into this type of work.We will cover inter alia:

• Health and safety issues: hard hats and steel capped boots, dangerous machinery
• Interpreting on the go: inside and outside of the factory
• Interpreting for groups on visits: keeping the group with you on the move
• Noise issues: machinery, radios, side conversations in group
• Interpreting at different locations on and off site; factory workshop, board meeting, training session, formal dinner
• How and what you need to negotiate: rates, insurance, clear description of visit requirements

Key takeaways:

• Terminology explanations to enhance your glossaries
• A better understanding of what is involved in interpreting in this very specialised area
