Science2Practice – basics
In this Science2Practice section, digilinguo provides general foundational content. It covers topics that are relevant to all interpreters across different fields: terminology work, note-taking technique, reflection and psychological self-care. Awareness of these topics is also valuable for professionals in the wide range of fields in which interpreters work. Please note that the materials are currently available in German only. As Switzerland has several official languages, we are making our best efforts to provide selected content in French and, where possible, in Italian.
