Simultaneous Interpreting – The Process, The Practical Application and The Advantage

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

The Process

To provide an audience made up of individuals who speak different languages with a facility to understanding the content of what is being spoken, Simultaneous Interpreting (or SI) is used. The information is captured by the professional interpreter; interpreted, as spoken from the speaker’s source-language. The interpreter then accurately conveys the translated message usually into a microphone which is, in turn, delivered to the audience via their headsets. This whole process happens simultaneously, hence the term “Simultaneous Interpreting”.

The Practical Application

Simultaneous Interpreting allows efficient and accurate communication of a target language to the relevant target audience as it is spoken.

Seminars, conferences and other such events can call for the placement of an individual, or individuals, to provide such a service. Invariably, these individuals will need both an excellent command of their respective languages as well as an erudite knowledge of the terms, phraseology and industry specific parlances that are often used during the event.

The Advantage

To express and exchange your ideas to existing and potential commercial partners is one major advantage in holding a seminar, or related event. This being the case, to have the facility and resource to enable your ideas to be expressed clearly and succinctly gives you optimum opportunity to engage with your audience by accommodating to their individual language needs. Where you are presented with a multinational audience at such an event, the benefits that a simultaneous interpreter can provide are immediately apparent.

Simultaneous Interpreting brings many benefits to both public and private sector industries. For example; a business wants to distribute a generic product. This product could be utilised by anyone, but currently it only has promotional and instructional materials written in a certain language; let’s say English. Regardless of how useful this item may be, unless its potential benefits are expressed to other audiences in a way that they can understand, no-one will realise what a great product it is.

What We Can Provide

We, as Language Service Providers, can offer organisations the ability to speak to their customers and clients clearly and effectively, regardless of what language they speak; to provide a communication aid where the obstacle of a language barrier is rendered unobtrusive, as much as is possible.

We can supply our customers with the right individuals for the assignment. This will provide invaluable access to a facility to convey your message to your audience in a manner that is both professional and integrated. Our complete, end-to-end language service includes the organisation of travel arrangements for our linguists as well as to provide the required audio equipment on site.
