Conference interpreting
- simultaneous interpreting
Simultaneous interpreting is performed in a sound-proof booth from which the interpreter usually can see the speaker, but does not enter into any interaction with him. The interpreter receives information in the source language through headphones and, at the same time, interprets the message into the target language, thanks to which conference participants can hear the interpretation in their headphones (see more). - consecutive interpreting
In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter begins the interpretation only after the speaker has finished speaking (a speech may be divided into parts). The interpreter usually stands next to the speaker and takes notes while listening to him; then, he decodes the message in the target language as a whole as if he was the speaker. Consecutive interpretation, therefore, consists in selecting the most important information and presenting the essence of the message (see more).
Liaison
Used in less formal situations. Interpretation for one or two people or a group of people. In this type of interpretation, the interpreter does not use any specialist equipment, he usually sits next to the speaker, and since the utterances are short, there is no need to take notes. Unlike in the case of consecutive interpreting, the speaker utters short messages or single sentences. Liaison is used whenever there is a need for a high level of detail and if it is difficult to make notes or when a speech is accompanied by a presentation.
Accompanying interpretation
An interpreter accompanies a person or a group of people on a trip, during visits, meetings or during various types of talks. Accompanying interpretation is a type of liaison interpretation.
Whispered
It is a form of simultaneous interpretation, but without the use of specialist equipment. In whispered interpretation, also referred to as chuchotage, the interpreter sits close to a small group of listeners and, in a low voice, simultaneously interprets what the speaker says. Whispered interpretation is frequently applied in situations when a small group of people (preferably up to three) does not speak the language understandable for the majority of meeting participants.
Sight interpretation
The interpreter receives a written text, which he interprets - usually without prior preparation. Such situations occur, for instance, in public offices, at the notary public office or in court.
Certified interpretation (legal/court)
Legal interpretation may be in the form of consecutive interpreting (e.g. witness statements) or simultaneous interpreting for one or more people with the use of electronic equipment (e.g. interpreting the whole legal proceedings).
