Interpreting

Interpreting is the process of orally translating spoken language — or sign language — from a source language into a target language. Interpreters specialise in conveying information in real time between people or groups who do not share a common language.

Simultaneous Interpreting

The interpreter renders the spoken words almost in the moment the speaker delivers them. This requires specialised equipment — headphones and microphones — to facilitate communication. Simultaneous interpreting is widely used at conferences, international meetings and in political contexts.

Consecutive Interpreting

The interpreter listens to the speaker and takes notes during pauses, then delivers the translation, usually in segments. Consecutive interpreting is the preferred mode for business meetings, negotiations and court proceedings.

Whispered Interpreting (Chuchotage)

A form of simultaneous interpreting in which the interpreter quietly whispers the translation directly into the listener’s ear. This method is well suited to meetings or small groups where only one or a few people require translation.

Sign Language Interpreting

This form of interpreting serves Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. The interpreter mediates between sign language and spoken language, making communication possible.

Types of Interpreters

Interpreters must not only be fluent in their working languages, but also have a thorough command of the cultures and specialised terminology in their fields. Conference interpreters, court interpreters, medical interpreters and others — each specialising according to the particular demands of their area of practice.
