Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
What does it take to interpret for Prime Ministers? It's far more than knowing two languages. In this episode, Dr Abhishek Dadhich, who has interpreted during engagements involving Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Anthony Albanese, takes listeners behind the scenes of diplomatic interpreting. From decoding idioms and humour in real time to staying neutral under pressure, he explains why interpreters carry meaning, not just words, and why human judgement remains indispensable even in the era of AI.
