simultaneous interpreting
Simultaneous interpreting is a process where an interpreter translates spoken language in real-time, allowing audiences to hear the interpretation almost instantly. This technique is commonly used in international conferences, meetings, and events where participants speak different languages. The interpreter listens to the speaker and conveys the message in another language without pausing for long.
To perform simultaneous interpreting, interpreters often work in pairs or teams, using specialized equipment like headsets and microphones. This method requires a high level of concentration and quick thinking, as interpreters must convey the speaker's message accurately while keeping up with the pace of the conversation.
