Translation and Interpreting Service Interpreting

Interpreting

Interpreting consists of the oral translation of speeches or discourse of speakers. It includes various types: so-called conference interpreting (simultaneous and consecutive), which is mainly aimed at congresses, seminars, or training courses; consecutive, used as a tool for communication in smaller gatherings such as workshops, meetings, or presentations with a very small group of speakers; bilateral interpreting for brief exchanges between speakers (interviews, for example); and whispered interpreting (chuchotage).

Simultaneous

This is most commonly used at congresses; it involves technical equipment, both for the interpreter and for the audience. Basic equipment includes the use of interpreting booths, a connection of the booths to the microphones available in the room or at the head table, and the use of wireless receivers to be able to hear the interpreting in the interpreting process’ target language.

Consecutive

In this case, the interpreter takes notes and later reproduces the message. The interventions of the speaker alternate with those of the interpreter in agreed-upon intervals. It can be done at the same place that the person who will be interpreted is speaking. It does not require any type of technical equipment.
