Simultaneous Interpretation Onsite
In the simultaneous mode of interpretation, the interpreter keeps up with the speaker in such a way that he is never lagging behind more than a few seconds, which creates a real-time communication effect when performing the translation service.
What is Simultaneous Interpretation?
Simultaneous interpretation is the process of interpreting what is said, from one language into another, while it is being said. Unlike consecutive interpretation, which is the process of interpreting what is said, after it is said, and takes twice as long, the simultaneous mode of interpretation is sometimes referred to as real-time translation.
What are the Main Types of Simultaneous Interpretation?
Simultaneous Interpretation Onsite: The interpreter is physically present at the location of the event. It is customary for an onsite simultaneous interpreter to sit in a soundproof booth for the language interpretation to be heard by the audience via headset receivers. Onsite simultaneous interpreters are uniquely qualified and often need to travel to provide their services in international conferences around the globe.
Simultaneous Interpretation Remote: Advanced cloud-based technology makes it possible for interpreters to work remotely from anywhere around the world, while audiences listen to the interpretation on their smartphone or electronic devices.
