Main Challenges
The client talks for a long time about his experiences in Guatemala so the interpreter will need to make use of their long-consecutive interpreting skills, making sure to take effective notes to appropriately express what the client is saying. When sensitive situations are being discussed, it is important for the interpreter not to interrupt. Additionally, a slang, homophobic term is used in this script, and while it may be uncomfortable, it is important for the interpreter to relay it accurately.
