Simultaneous interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation is a method of interpreting spoken language in real-time. This technique allows an interpreter to listen to a speaker in one language and convey the message in another language almost instantly. It 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. This setup helps them to maintain focus and accuracy while interpreting. Simultaneous interpretation requires a high level of skill, as interpreters must have a deep understanding of both languages and the subject matter being discussed.
