Interpreting involves verbal translation of a communication from one language to another. At conventions and conferences, it usually takes the form of the two specialized techniques interpreters use in their work: simultaneous interpreting and consecutive interpreting.<\/p>\n<p>The main goal of interpreting is to facilitate transmission and understanding of a message by translating it from one language to another. This aim is achieved through approaches, methods and techniques that vary depending on the context and the customer\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take a look at the differences between simultaneous and consecutive interpreting.<\/p>\n<h2>Differences<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>main difference<\/strong>\u00a0between simultaneous and consecutive involves\u00a0<strong>time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In\u00a0simultaneous, the interpreter translates the speaker\u2019s words almost\u00a0<strong>perfectly in sync with their delivery<\/strong>\u00a0so as to avoid pauses and interruptions in the speaker\u2019s discourse. By contrast, in\u00a0consecutive\u00a0the interpreter allows the speaker to talk for 5-10 minutes, takes notes and then,\u00a0<strong>during a break in their speech, translates all of the expounded concepts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This does not mean that simultaneous interpreting is perfectly synchronized with the speaker\u2019s speech; there is always a\u00a0<strong>time lag<\/strong>, albeit minimal, between the speaker\u2019s delivery and the interpreter\u2019s translation. However, the break that occurs in this case is almost imperceptible compared to the break in consecutive.<\/p>\n<p>Consecutive interpreting requires the speaker to pause after expressing one or more concepts so that the interpreter can relay what has just been uttered to listeners. This dynamic therefore involves a\u00a0<strong>time delay<\/strong>, allowing the professional to take notes, rework the text and express it in the target language in the best form so that the message is not affected by linguistic or cultural bias.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simultaneous and consecutive interpreting\u00a0are the best-known types of interpreting, but there are major\u00a0differences\u00a0between them.
