Simultaneous interpreting
Simultaneous interpreting is a bit misleading. While the translator is almost instantaneously delivering the information, they must wait on the subject or verb in the sentence to be sure they are clearly representing the speakers intentions.
Simultaneous skills
Because of the short time frame and the complexity of language, a simultaneous interpreter must be quick-thinking and decide on the most likely interpretation and follow it through. To spend unnecessary time agonizing over the speakers phrasing could amount to losing important information in the next sentence.
Simultaneous needs
Simultaneous interpretation is usually done with
headphones and a microphone and used in group discussions,
conferences and business meetings. The interpreter usually has the benefit of seeing the speech in advance.
Consecutive interpreting
Consecutive interpreting involves the speaker delivering the speech in their source language and then pausing after complete thoughts so that the translator can interpret the idea to the audience. Thus, consecutive translating is more likely to be paraphrased.
Consecutive use and meaning
Consecutive interpreters generally take notes and
develop their own shorthand to accurately reflect the
speakers meaning. Consecutive interpreting usually occurs in
courtrooms, conferences and small (boardroom) business meetings.
