Language Interpretation Explained

Interpretation (or language interpretation), in the translation business, refers to the act of orally translating spoken text from one language to another. Unlike translation, which is written or typed, interpretation involves oral or spoken communication.

Consecutive Interpretation

Consecutive Interpretation refers to oral translation by a linguist where the speaker and the interpreter take turns in speaking. The speaker or presenter speaks in her or his own language for few moments, say a few sentences, and then pauses for the interpreter. In this time, the interpreter translates the speaker’s words into the language understood by the audience. Then the presenter speaks again. In this way, the spoken content is translated consecutively in turns.

WordPar provides qualified consecutive interpreters for conferences, business meetings, discussions, court proceedings and depositions in most parts of the world and for a variety of language combinations. Multiple locations and multiple language combinations are serviced. In cases where distance or accessibility is a barrier, we use video conferencing, telephones and all possible communication modes to facilitate inter-lingual communication.

Interpretation services are provided for a wide variety of purposes:

• Legal Interpretation
• Government Proceedings
• Finances
• Medical Consultations or Interpretation of Reports
• Manufacturing
• Business Meetings and Negotiations

Simultaneous Interpretation

Simultaneous Interpretation refers to the simultaneous (real-time) translation of spoken texts by an interpreter, while the presenter is speaking. This requires a highly advanced level of expertise and training, and is a very demanding and mentally draining job. Interpreters are required to listen and speak at the same time, and there is a lapse of only a few seconds between listening, understanding, translating and speaking in the target language, while still listening to the subsequent content being spoken by the presenter.

This kind of interpretation requires sophisticated acoustics and electronic equipment. It requires that the speaker and interpreter are in separate cabins so that their voices do not clash. The interpreter receives the audio signal of the speaker via an audio channel to her or his headphones. Another channel carries the interpreter’s voice via a separate circuit to listeners who will each have an individual headphone where they can listen to the interpreter’s
