In recent decades,an increasing number of studieshas focused on interpreting emotional language and its potential impact on interpreters’ well-being. Interpreters have been shown to respond to emotionally charged content (e.g.,Korpal Korpal, Jankowiak, & Kaczmarek,2026),wereused for the present analysis. A propositional accuracy score and an error analysis (in line with Bartłomiejczyk, 2010), were applied to measure interpreting quality. The study results show that interpreting quality may be lower for affect-laden sentences, relative to neutral sentences, which can be mainly observed in a higher number of interpreting errors for affective content. Interpreting into L2 triggers more errors but tends not to impact propositional accuracyscores. Overall, the study contributes to interpreting studies by testing the relationship between affect-laden content and interpreting performance. Study outcomes can be applied in interpreter education by introducing more practice in interpreting potentially challenging affective language.
