Simultaneous interpretation is a method of interpreting spoken language in real-time. It allows an interpreter to listen to a speaker in one language and convey the message in another language almost instantly. This technique is commonly used in international conferences, meetings, and events where participants speak different languages.
Interpreters typically work in pairs or teams, using specialized equipment like headsets and microphones. They must have excellent language skills and the ability to think quickly, as they need to convey the speaker's message accurately while keeping up with the pace of the speech.
