Liaison interpreting is used during business meetings, where there may be two or more speakers who need to communicate quickly and effectively.
A liaison interpreter simultaneously translates what is said by the speakers but without the special equipment used in simultaneous, and thus entails lower costs; just like consecutive interpreting.
This interpreting service can also be carried out remotely on digital platforms, which makes it very convenient on any working occasion.
Liaison interpreting is the ideal service to allow for effective communication between a limited number of interlocutors, such as during business or promotional meetings.
As with consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, this service also requires the interpreter to be thoroughly prepared, as they have to memorise what the speaker says for a few seconds and, without notes, rephrase the message in the language of the listener.
The speakers take turns and the liaison interpreter must have great memory and communication skills to do their job well.
Furthermore, in liaison interpreting services, you need to select the right professional, possibly a native speaker of one of the two languages interpreted, and with extensive experience in the field of the assignment.
In a business meeting to stipulate a commercial contract between English and Italian speakers, the ideal solution is to have the service of a liaison interpreter in English with a native speaker of this language, who is also fluent in Italian and well-acquainted with the field in question.
In the case of business meetings where technical-scientific topics need to be discussed in French-Italian, a professional native speaker of French or Italian will be selected to interpret at the event.
