Simultaneous Interpretation

Simultaneous interpretation is the most complex type of interpretation. This service becomes necessary in case of large-scale conferences, meetings and other events that comprise the presence of many people including foreign visitors. The agency “Great” offers services of professional simultaneous interpreters from and into one and more languages for private and corporate customers at the same time.

What is the essence of simultaneous interpretation and its process?

In contrast to the consecutive one, simultaneous interpretation is performed synchronically with the orator’s speech. It means that the speaker does not need to make pauses between the parts of his report in order to allow an interpreter to communicate the essence of what has been said in foreign language.

A simultaneous interpreter sits in a special soundproof booth and works beyond the vision of people attending the event. Each guest listens to interpretation of the specialist via headsets. In this case simultaneous interpretation into several foreign languages becomes possible. Apart from headsets, the organization of the process requires also an equipment set that consists of:

• microphones;
• soundboards;
• interpreter’s control panels;
• outgoing and incoming channels;
• audio system;
• conference-communication system.

Even if the translation into one language is required, there always work two specialists of simultaneous interpretation on the conference or meeting, who alternate periodically in 15-20 minutes. It is related to the fact that this work is characterized by high-pressure. The task of the interpreter is not only to have a perfect command of a language but also easily orient himself in the topics discussed at the event.
