Nuances of Simultaneous Interpretation...

This cannot be done by computers but only human interpreters & translators who are very skilled in the language arts can do this task. This is because of the fact that it is hard and rather impossible for a computer to handle the nuances of culture and languages.

These interpreters & translators have the ability to listen to a speech in one language and convert it to another language instantaneously with the help of interpretation equipments and booths. This is not an easy task and takes a highly trained individual to do this because an interpreter is not allowed to trip over his/her words.

He/ She has to be spontaneous and instantaneous while interpreting the expressions of the speaker, in addition, the interpreter must have complete knowledge of the subject of the speech with all terminologies and vocabularies related to the subject of the speech in both source & target languages.

Specialized electronic equipment has an essential role in simultaneous interpretation. It is a complex audio routing system designed specifically for language interpretation. The audio needs to travel in its utmost pure sound quality from the person speaking to the interpreter and then back from the interpreter to the audience in their own language. We must essentially note here that when the language of the speaker is not the language of the audience requirement for language interpretation arises.

In simultaneous interpretation mostly a pair of interpreters are required to be together sitting inside a sound-proof booth consoling with a headphone and a microphone each. They take turns while performing the interpretation task. At any point in time, only one of them stays "live on-air".

If the audience is a mixture of many language speaking participants for each target language a pair of interpreters is required in separate booths. The participants can choose their preferred language in which they want to listen to. A wired listening station solution or a wireless transmitter/receiver solution with functionalities like a channel selector, volume control, and headphone are made available to accomplish this objective. That is how a -real-time multi-cultural communication that bridges the language and cultural barriers is organized successfully. We offer Simultaneous Interpretation Services by highly professional and experienced interpreters.

Simultaneous Interpretation System…

Simultaneous Interpretation with traditional hardware look like as follows:

• 1- The speaker talks into a microphone.
• 2- His/ her speech is broadcast to the interpreter through headphones. The interpreter sits in a sound-proof interpreter booth.
• 3- As the interpreter listens to the speech, he or she translates it in real-time into a microphone without any time lag.
• 4- The interpretation is transmitted seamlessly through wireless devices like via multi-channel receivers to the headphones of the event attendees.

Interpreters in a simultaneous interpretation event need the following facilities to perform:

• 1- Interpreters must have a clear view of speakers, the podium, and presentations.
• 2- Interpreters need good access to Internet connections.
• 3- They need to have a sufficient number of power outlets for their laptops, tablets, and any other gadgets they may use during their work.
• 4- High air quality is very crucial for obvious reasons, too. Sensors that measure CO2 must be there inside their booths.
• 5- They need optimal acoustic conditions, for example, fans should not be noisy and be as quiet as possible and sound insulation from other booths should be perfect.
