Simultaneous Interpreting Basics

Conference Interpreting Buyer's Guide


What kind of a conference interpreter do you need?

Let's define the differences between the two types of conference interpretation: simultaneous and consecutive.

Simultaneous interpretation is the process of interpreting from one language into another at the same time as the presenter is speaking. This type of interpretation is best suited for professional conferences, presentations and theatrical events. The audience is provided with a small headset or earpiece that receives the interpretation via radio or infrared waves. If more than one language is being interpreted, the audience may shift between languages. Please keep in mind that for this type of interpretation, interpreters work in pairs for each language. Each interpreter works in shifts of 20-30 minutes. This method allows the presenter to speak at a normal pace and will not slow down an event.

Consecutive interpretation is a method which allows the presenter to speak for a short period of time, usually less than a minute. Then the interpreter then renders the message into the target language. This type of interpretation is best suited for one-on-one situations, small group meetings, short presentations and telephone interpreting. The time required to provide the interpretation is generally as long as, or longer than, the original message. Remember to factor in this additional time when determining the time required for such a presentation.
