Simultaneous interpretation vs consecutive interpretation.

Consecutive interpretation (CI) is another verbal translation mode where interpreters await the speaker to deliver a couple of sentences before they start to translate.

Simultaneous Interpretation is the most efficient interpreting mode that allows you to communicate with your audience on the fly, instead of having to pause from time to time to await your translator to complete the interpretation.

It’s applicable for meetings, conferences and events of all sorts and sizes, be it monolingual, multilingual, small, large, virtual, physical, casual or formal.

Interpreters

Qualifications

Due to the demanding and complex nature of SI, interpreters who have related educational background, language proficiency, expertise in simultaneous interpretation and experience of translating in hundreds of thousands of meetings are critical to high-quality interpretation.

Working mode

Depending on the length, languages and topic of the meeting, interpreters normally work in a team of two or three.

Technologies

Simultaneous interpretation system

An SI system consists of a series of devices which allow you to listen to real-time translation via headsets.

Simultaneous Interpretation Booth

As simultaneous interpretation requires extreme concentration, interpreters need to work in a sound-proof booth that isolates them from the rest of the participants.

Interpreters have a direct view of activities in the conference room. This allows them to focus on both the voice and non-verbal cues of the speaker to ensure the most accurate translation.

Technical Support

A conference technician must be present and operate the SI system throughout the conference.
