Klabal, OndrejSight translation is a commonly used mode of interpreting in public service interpreting settings and exams, and therefore needs to be addressed in PSI training. In addition to the challenges related to the shift from the written to oral form, the documents so translated are often terminology heavy and the situational context may be emotionally challenging. This paper will take the case of advice or letter of rights, which is a document used e.g. in asylum proceedings or court or police contexts, to discuss ways to approach sight translation in interpreting classes. The paper will include a contrastive analysis of this genre in English and Czech from a variety of settings and intended for a variety of addressees, comparing the structure, terminology load and other discursive features. Further, it will present a didactic proposal to introduce students to such documents, raise their awareness of the issues involved and present strategies that may be used to tackle such issues to achieve the desired communicative effect. Although the paper is based on English and Czech texts, it may be adapted to other linguistic pairs and complement the existing teaching materials.application/pdfhttps://ejournals.epublishing.ekt.gr/index.php/latic/article/view/39068engDepartment of Foreign Languages, Translation and Interpreting, Ionian UniversityCopyright (c) 2025 Ondrej Klabalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.02241-7214International Journal of Language, Translation and Intercultural Communication2241-4304International Journal of Language, Translation and Intercultural Communication; Τόμ. 9 (2025): Special Issue on Public Service Interpreting: Paving the Way to Social Justice Through Professionalization (Early Access)International Journal of Language, Translation and Intercultural Communication; Vol. 9 (2025): Special Issue on Public Service Interpreting: Paving the Way to Social Justice Through Professionalization (Early Access)advice of rightscustomized interpretingpublic service interpretinginterpreter trainingsight translationSight Translation in PSI Training: Advice of Rights in Czech and English as a Case in Pointinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion2025-03-24Δημοσίευση σε περιοδικόPublication in journalΓλώσσα και ΓλωσσολογίαLanguage and Linguisticsisi - Language & Linguistics covers resources relating to theoretical, literary and historical linguistics as well as stylistics and philology.isi - Linguistics covers resources relating to all theoretical and applied aspects of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics.
