What is Simultaneous Interpreting?
People who used to host foreign delegations at an event are no strangers to the simultaneous interpretation definition. Simultaneous interpreting refers to orally translating the spoken messages from one language to another in real-time, ensuring a smooth output for the listeners while not disturbing the natural flow of the speaker.
As one of the most challenging modes of interpretation services, simultaneous interpretation demands native-level competency and cultural awareness of both languages, active listening skills, outstanding memories, and multitasking skills in the interpreters. And these qualities are what characterize Wordspath’s interpreting experts.
Simultaneous vs Consecutive Interpretation
When performing simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter translates the speech in the head and delivers the oral simultaneous translations while listening to the speaker’s next sentence, which will be interpreted next. A simultaneous interpreter needs to synchronously listen, analyze, and paraphrase the speaker’s speech in another language.
While in consecutive interpretation, the interpreter needs to wait for the completion of a long sentence or a concept while memorizing the speaker’s words in shorthand, then interprets the messages in the target language during a break or pause in the speaker’s speech.
Simultaneous interpretation, or UN-style interpretation, is commonly used in large-scale, live events with multiple foreign delegations as an effective way to engage multilingual parties in real-time. Meanwhile, consecutive interpretation best suits small-scale meetings where only two languages are involved.
Whether it’s large presentations, conferences, symposia or one-on-one meetings, medical and legal appointments, and workshops, Wordspath will find a good match for your specific interpretation needs.
How Simultaneous Interpretation Works?
Simultaneous interpreting is a mentally taxing task which requires interpreters to work in pairs. They are seated in a soundproof booth and listen to the speaker via their headphones and carry out oral translation in real-time by speaking into a microphone connected to the personal wireless receivers and the attendees listens through their headsets. Two interpreter take turns to work for 20 to 30 minutes to relieve stress.
Equipment needed for simultaneous interpretation services:
- A soundproof booth positioned where the speaker is in sight and large enough to fit two interpreters (one booth per language)
- A set of receivers with headsets for the audience members
- A transmitter and a microphone, and a set of headphones for each interpreter
- Base transmitters or portable transmitters
