Simultaneous interpretation is one of the best ways to connect with your audience during a conference or a direct negotiation. Nevertheless, many people that aren\’t familiar with the work of a professional interpreter still think that there is a lot of information lost with this communication tool.
This could not be further from the truth. Keep reading and learn why the professional interpreters that work at EPLS are qualified to give you the best service possible.
What is Simultaneous Interpretation?
The first thing that we need to clarify is that interpretation works with oral communication. Contrary to translation, which focuses mainly on written texts. Also, it’s important to notice that there is a huge difference between Consecutive and Simultaneous interpretation.
Even Though they might sound like similar concepts, in the simultaneous process the goal is to clarificate what the transmitter is saying immediately, hence its name. Meanwhile, a consecutive interpreter takes notes in order to translate the message later, considering the context of the conversation. With this, the speaker has to stop many times during the conference to let the interpreter deliver the message properly.
To summarize: simultaneous interpretation is faster and translates literally, consecutive interpretation doesn’t translate word by word.
Which one is better?
