Hello!
I am translating an article on interpreting wiretapped conversations in a criminal setting (which is why this thread appears under the category of law).
My doubt relates to the rendering of this phrase 'prestaciones de alto rendimiento' in the context outlined below.
I'm not sure if it's referring to a 'high-pressure job' or a job where 'high standards' are required or neither of the above! I would appreciate the help of anyone who could shed some light on the situation.
El hibridismo y la complejidad multifactorial de la interpretación de escuchas telefónicas hacen de este trabajo un auténtico ejercicio de prestaciones de alto rendimiento, en el que no se sobrevive sin una metodología imbricada en muchos territorios: interpretación, traducción, técnicas de comunicación, técnicas de apuntes, lenguajes especiales (no sólo jurídico-judicial), lenguaje coloquial, nociones de psicología, sociología…
Thank you!

[suggestion for the whole thing]
This is an enormously long sentence that can be expressed much more concisely in English. I suggest
El hibridismo y la complejidad multifactorial de la interpretación de escuchas telefónicas hacen de este trabajo un auténtico ejercicio de prestaciones de alto rendimiento, en el que no se sobrevive sin una metodología imbricada en muchos territorios:
Translating wiretaps is a highly complex task that demands a wide variety of skills:

: Needless to say, it also requires excellent hearing. I've done it but suffered due to the below average hearing I have had all my life.

Yes, Henry, I still do it now and again; it doesn't help if 1) the line is poor and 2) the client mumbles!!

: I think this is a bit literal, and it doesn't quite make logical sense. People perform, cars perform, but services don't.

I like "first-rate skills" too but this definition focuses attention on the vast and diverse array of services called upon...:)

: I can see your reasoning, but I think the implication is that one person needs lots of different skills, not that it requires lots of people.

Spanish term (edited):
prestaciones de alto rendimiento
high-level skill set
The Spanish is typically long-winded, so I had to actually translate the passage in Word to get my head around a suggestion. And after doing just that, my suggestion is below. Since this is talking about wiretapping, it's obvious that the most important element will be the humans involved, and not the services themselves, per se; so it makes more sense to me to talk about the human skill set required. This would be my approach to the translation anyway.
As an aside, do you know what is meant by “hybridity”? (linguistic hybridity?) “Multifactorial complexity” I understand to be complexity involving multiple factors (which makes sense). But hey! You weren’t even asking about those terms…
My tuppence worth, hope it helps :)
