Interpreting Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Translation is the conversion of text from one language into another. The “target text,” or “translation” communicates the same message. Interpreting is the intellectual activity that consists of facilitating oral or sign language communication, either simultaneously or consecutively, between people who do not speak or sign the same language.

Simultaneous interpretation (also known as conference interpretation, or real-time interpreting) is when the speaker’s voice is interpreted without interruption as he/she is speaking. The interpreter listens to one language and speaks in another, simultaneously, the two voices speaking at once. Research has shown that 23 cognitive skills are involved in simultaneous interpreting. Simultaneous interpretation usually requires specific sound equipment.
In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter waits until the speaker completes an idea (a passage of speech, a sentence, a shorter part of a speech, or logical unit) and translates it into the foreign language. Therefore, consecutive interpretation requires pauses between passages for the interpretation to be spoken. First the interpreter listens to the entire phrase then she/he interprets it into the desired language.
