Simultaneous interpretation: This is the most common mode of interpreting used in conferences, in which the interpreter interprets speakers' speech into the target language at the same time the speaker is speaking. The advantage of simultaneous interpretation is that speeches can be communicated to an audience that speaks different languages in real time. The speaker doesn't need to stop and wait for the interpreters. This ensures speech consistency, shortens conference time, and improves conference efficiency.
For simultaneous interpretation, an isolation booth is required to ensure that interpreters can focus their attention on interpretation without interference. A computer system and necessary equipment are also essential to allow the interpreted content to be sent and received via earphone to the audience. |

Consecutive interpretation: This is a mode in which the interpreter begins their interpretation of a complete message after the speaker has stopped speaking. Consecutive interpretation has distinct advantages in certain interpreting situations, not the least of which is that consecutive interpretations render more accurate, equivalent, and complete target texts.
Escort interpretation: Escort interpretation is where an interpreter accompanies a person or a delegation to a function, official and unofficial, formal and informal. This technique is most often used during site visits and social events and often employed for individual or small tours. |
