What is simultaneous interpreting?
Simultaneous interpreting is commonly required for conferences that involve several different languages and a large number of participants. It may also be required at critical business discussions, seminars, symposiums and, sometimes, court hearings.
There are normally two (and sometimes three) interpreters who sit in a sound-proof booth, away from the audience, listening to the speaker via an audio link. They take turns interpreting the speaker’s message at high speed and without a pause for the benefit of delegates in the audience, swapping every 15 – 20 minutes to avoid fatigue.
Simultaneous interpreting can also be used on an individual level. The interpreter whispers the translation into a client’s ear so as not to disturb the rest of the listeners (see whispering interpreting for more information).
How many interpreters do I need?
In usual cases, simultaneous interpreting requires two interpreters (and, in some cases, three). This is because it is such a concentrated and demanding form of interpreting. In order to be effective, an interpreter can only translate for periods of up to twenty minutes without a rest. When one interpreter is resting, the other interprets, and the two share the work throughout the assignment or event.
Specialist equipment
Simultaneous interpreting also requires special equipment. As simultaneous interpreting is usually carried out inside a booth using headsets, it is necessary to arrange to hire equipment. Contact TJC Global directly for assistance with equipment hire.
