TalentHubTH Brief: Use this guidance together with the actual role, industry, location and business context.
Choose the interpreting mode for the meeting
Consecutive interpreting suits smaller negotiations, interviews and discussions where speakers can pause. Simultaneous interpreting suits conferences and larger events but may require equipment and more than one interpreter.
- Meeting purpose and desired outcome
- Number and nationality of participants
- Language pair and specialist vocabulary
- Online, on-site or multi-location format
Check experience beyond language level
Review interpreting experience, subject familiarity, accuracy, neutrality, confidentiality and the ability to manage the actual setting.
- Ask about similar assignments
- Share terminology for preparation
- Confirm confidentiality requirements
- Arrange a technical check for online meetings
Brief the interpreter before the event
Send the agenda, participant names, slides, product information and sensitive terms in advance. A clear brief improves accuracy and keeps the meeting moving.
