Abstract: This article discusses the interpreting skills necessary for translators,
arguing that incorporating interpreting competencies can significantly improve
translators' responsiveness, cognitive flexibility, and cultural adaptability. Key
interpreting skills such as active listening, memory retention, real-time reformulation,
and intercultural awareness are analyzed in the context of how they support the
translator’s role in both written and spoken communication. The study concludes with
recommendations for translator training programs to integrate interpreting practice to
prepare linguists for more dynamic professional settings.
