Where a interpreter can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a interpreter already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

Interpreters understand and convert spoken communication from one language to another. They retain considerable amounts of information, often with the aid of note-taking, and communicate it immediately after whilst keeping the nuances and stress of the message in the recipient language.

Note

How these figures were compiled

Coverage is the share of the target role’s weighted skill requirement a interpreter already meets, counting required skills in full and supplementary ones at 0.35. It is directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. Every entry above opens the full comparison for that move: what carries over, what is missing, and where to start. The full method.
