Which of the following is NOT one of the four interpreting protocols?

• A. Turn-Taking
• B. Positioning
• C. Professional Introduction
• D. Re-Dissemination of Content

Answer: (D)

Interpreting encounters are guided by established protocols that help the interpreter manage the flow, presentation, and ethics of the session. The core ideas behind these protocols are to keep communication clear, accurate, and respectful for everyone involved. Turn-taking is about coordinating who speaks and when, so the interpreter can render each message without interruptions or overlap. Positioning refers to where the interpreter sits or stands to maintain visibility and audibility for both parties and to stay unobtrusive. Professional Introduction involves greeting the participants, stating your role and language pair, confirming confidentiality, and setting expectations for how the session will proceed. Re-Dissemination of Content is not a protocol used during interpreting; sharing or spreading interpreted content beyond the intended audience would violate confidentiality and professional boundaries. So the option that does not belong among the protocols is Re-Dissemination of Content.
