Abstract:	In the wake of the growing impact of English as a lingua franca (ELF) on multilingual communication, it has been assumed and partially shown that deviations from conventional linguistic standards may affect interpreting and translation (T&I), especially in monological settings (Albl-Mikasa 2022). This raises the question as to how T&I professionals cope with these deviations in their effort to produce high-quality target texts. As part of the CLINT (Cognitive Load in Interpreting and Translation) project, various product- and process-based methods of the established repertoire in Cognitive Interpreting and Translation Studies have been applied in order to measure the (additional) cognitive demands involved and gauge the coping strategies targeted at managing those demands (Ehrensberger-Dow et al. 2020). To complete the picture, an international survey was conducted among professional conference and community interpreters as well as translators, designed to determine how often they actually deal with ELF texts, the characteristics of the texts that cause them the most difficulties and what coping strategies they use. Based on the responses of almost 900 professionals, this presentation highlights the self-reported results from conference and community interpreters as well as translators focusing, in particular, on their coping strategies. In addition, it will demonstrate how the addition of self-report data from members of the communities of professional practice and their experiences with ELF texts at their usual workplaces allow a richer description of ELF-related multilingual language processing than data collection from the simulated workplace setting and usability laboratory alone.
