What is Simultaneous interpretation?

Simultaneous interpretation occurs when the interpreter translates the speaker’s meaning from one language to another in real time. To put it simply, the original speaker and the interpreter speak at the same time. The interpreter listens, comprehends, evaluates, and reformulates the speaker’s message without pausing, in contrast to consecutive interpretation, where the interpreter has to wait for the speaker to pause before doing so.

When there are multilingual attendees at an event, simultaneous interpreting is the recommended method of interpretation. Simultaneous interpretation works best in fast-paced environments, ensuring that the flow of information is communicated seamlessly. A good simultaneous interpreter listens actively with understanding, analyses and structures the message and reproduces and communicates what the speaker is saying all in real time.

How does simultaneous interpretation work with two languages?

During simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter’s verbal translations are transmitted by a specialist audio equipment, which is heard directly by the audience through their headsets. This is often done using one booth, or two booths or more if there is more than one language to interpret, with Spanish/English simultaneous conference interpretations, only one booth and two interpreters will be needed for seamless clear interpretations. 

If you are going to be interpreting from Spanish to English and the other way round, as an interpreter, you must be fluent and proficient in both languages. You need to be clear, concise and comprehensible when interpreting as this is a high-demanding, fast-paced environment. Interpreters are typically paired, with two interpreters allocated to each language for each event.
