Video-mediated Interpreting in Criminal Proceedings: Two European Surveys

• The aim of the survey among legal practitioners and judicial institutions was to gauge the extent to which different forms of video-mediated interpreting are currently employed across different European countries and to elicit information regarding planned uses, as well as the underlying motivations for use on the part of the judicial services. • The survey among legal interpreters was intended to capture the informants’ views, attitudes and current experience with different forms of video-mediated interpreting and to obtain a self-assessment of interpreting performance under videoconference conditions, the perceived difficulties and requirements for training.
