I still do not understand your question at all. Any help?

re personal pronoun to use Sorry, I've been away so I was not able to grade the answers. My doubt is what personal pronoun to use when you are doing a consecutive interpretation, 1st or 3rd? I've been in an international organization (UN) and they would use 1st. Is it the same pronoun to use when you are doing an interpreting job for a business meeting? What about simultaneous?

In business meetings the most common type of interpretation is "liaison", which uses the third form. Liaison meetings are usually between 2 people, they introduce each other at the beginning of the session. Here you have what could be a standard dialogue in a liaison meeting:

Mr. Cabrera: Bueno,para empezar, me gustaria presentarme. Mi nombre es Luis Cabrera y trabajo para el Ministerio del Interior de España

Interpreter (to the English speaker): This is Mr. Luis Cabrera. Mr. Cabrera works for the Spanish Home Office/Department of the Interior.

Hope that solves your doubt. It's not really a translation query. I suggest you open a topic on any Proz forum, or that you look it up on internet. Am pretty sure that many UN links are devoted to the eternal question in interpreting. Is it I or you?
Well, unless it's liaison, it's you putting yoursef in the shoes of the person youre interpreting for, so it's I.
Cheers
