Simultaneous Interpretation

Simultaneous translation is the transfer of the speaker's speech to the audience at the same time. The translator has to deliver the speaker's entire speech to the listener without doing any skipping. Since this type of translation requires advanced ability and rapid translation power, the translator has to be able to speak both languages at the native language level.

Even though simultaneous translation is similar to consecutive translation, there are points where they are separated from each other. The biggest point is the usage of equipment. Simultaneous translation equipment, for the first time, was produced by IBM Company in 1927 and was used at the Geneva Labor Fair.

Simultaneous translation is performed in a soundproof room and the translator conveys the conversation, which he/she listened through the headset, to the headset of audience at the same time. This way, the connection between the listener and the speaker can be maintained without interruption and the whole conversation can continue in integrity. Even without missing a single sentence, the translator is obliged to convey to the audience. In a conference, summit or meeting, if the participants are more than two countries, there may be translatos who translate in multiple languages. In each simultaneous translation booth there are one or two translators.

This type of translation is performed by means of technical equipment. In a big summit, it is not possible that each member participate together with his/her own translator. The translators, who can use the technological equipment properly, come into play in such cases. Among equipments used; soundproof rooms, microphone, headphones (both audience and translators) and technical infrastructure are included.

Simultaneous translation requires experience just like other fields of translation. But, this type of expertise is broader than the process of specialization in other fields. The simultaneous translator must be prepared for any kind of unexpected situation. The translator must be able to adapt to any subject. Part of the speech may differ from the other part. The translator must constantly improve himself to overcome these kind of situations. He/She must be able to absorb the gestures, mimics and phrases of both languages. We do not determine the source's speech and we do not decide which way to evolve. Therefore, a simultaneous translator has to be intellectual.

The simultaneous translator must follow the speaker's gestures and mimics too just like he/she follows the speech. In this case, the translator identifies and conveys to the audience the phrases that are pronounced in the same way but may have different meanings. This way, conversations are perceived in the right direction.

Also in simultaneous translation, expertise is important. In which field the meeting will be, a translator who has trained himself in this field should be employed. Particularly, İvogsan International Language Services Provider draws your attention to this point.
