What is Ad Hoc interpreting?
“Ad hoc interpreting” is something of an umbrella term covering many different forms of interpreting. Generally, ad-hoc interpreting is used in less formal situations where a conversation is taking place between just two people, for example at hospital visits, solicitors’ appointments or small business meetings. This is also known as “liaison interpreting”.
Although both are referred to as ad hoc interpreting, the role of a professional ad hoc interpreter in a business setting should not be confused with how the term is used in medical circles. Often medical professionals will use the term ad hoc interpreter to describe a member of the patient’s family or a member of staff who speaks both source and target languages but is not professionally trained medical interpreter.
