Gwenydd Jones interviews Monika Kokoszycka, a conference interpreter. After discussing the differences between translation and interpretation, and the differences between conference interpreting and public service interpreting, Monika tells Gwen all about her work as a conference interpreter.
She shares lots of information about what the job of being an interpreter involves and how to work as an EU interpreter and a UN interpreter.
We close by discussing the use of artificial intelligence in interpreting and the different skills you need to be a successful interpreter. We also mention Skilliga, which is a non-profit project run by volunteers to offer information on training for linguists.
