Abstract:
Most Interpreting Codes of Ethics mention the requirement for “accuracy” or “faithfulness” as one of its main tenets. Most interpreters would also agree that this is their primary responsibility. However, the concept of accuracy is a complex one which is often ‘interpreted’ in many different ways. This paper will argue that the meaning of accuracy depends on the type and mode of interpreting, the setting where the interpreter works, the institutional requirements and the working conditions under which an interpreter is working. It will focus on the meaning of accuracy in court interpreting, on the interpreter’s ethical requirements and on the feasibility of achieving the ideal standards required.
