Simultaneous Interpreting (sometimes referred to as Simultaneous Translation, or SI) is used to provide an audience made up of individuals speaking different languages with a facility to understanding the exact nature of what is being communicated to them. The information is interpreted, as spoken, from the speaker’s source-language; the interpreter then conveys the translated message into a microphone which is, in turn, delivered to the target-listeners via their headsets.
This method of translation entails the interpreter to relay communications in the appropriate target-language efficiently and with a high degree of accuracy.
Events such as conferences and seminars often carry with them a requirement for highly skilled linguists. These individuals are required not only to have a good command of different languages, but also to understand and communicate the numerous relevant terminologies that will, in all likelihood, be referred to throughout the duration of such events.
