Simultaneous Interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation has become an essential element in multinational events and international conferences. The role of a simultaneous interpreter goes beyond simple interpretation, requiring the interpreter to maintain high levels of concentration, excellent professional skills, and a broad understanding of cultural nuances.
What is Simultaneous Interpretation?
Simultaneous interpretation is considered the highest skill in the field of interpretation. During this process, the interpreter works from a soundproof booth and begins simultaneous translation as the speaker delivers their speech.
The delay in interpretation is extremely short, typically around 0.3 to 0.4 seconds after each sentence from the speaker. Due to the high demands for speed and accuracy, cabin interpretation is regarded as the pinnacle of the interpreting profession. This type of interpretation is often used in high-level international or national conferences and seminars.
Characteristics of Simultaneous Interpretation
- At least two simultaneous interpreters are required to alternate every 15-20 minutes to ensure the quality of interpretation.
- High-quality support equipment, such as headphones, microphones, and sound systems, is essential. In addition, a technical team is on hand to provide immediate assistance.
- Interpreters work from a soundproof booth to eliminate background noise and focus entirely on interpretation.
- Absolute accuracy in the conveyed information is ensured, while being flexible to adapt to changes in the speaker's delivery.
- This type of interpretation is ideal for international conferences and seminars where precision, professionalism, and time efficiency are critical.
