    What is Interpreting?

    Interpreting consists of presenting in the target language the exact meaning of


    what is uttered in the source language either simultaneously or consecutively,
    preserving the tone of speaker (Mahmoodzadeh, 1991).
    Interpreting
    Types of Interpreting

    1. Simultaneous Interpreting
    2. Consecutive Interpreting
    3. Whisper Interpreting
    4. Scheduled Telephone Interpreting

    1. Simultaneous Interpreting
    At a simultaneous interpreting event, the interpreter
    has to listen to what is being said and translate this into
    the target language at the same time.

    When interpreting simultaneously, the interpreter


    wears headphones and is located in a booth. He or she
    talks into a microphone that is connected to the
    headphones of the target language speakers. As there is
    no time to overthink translations, simultaneous
    interpreters must make decisions on the spot.

    2. Consecutive Interpreting
    In contrast to simultaneous interpreting, consecutive
    interpreting does not occur at the same time the source
    language speaker is talking. It is only when the speaker
    pauses (usually every 1-5 minutes) that the interpreter
    repeats what is being said in the target language.

    One of the most important skills a consecutive


    interpreter must possess is the ability to take notes. As
    it is virtually impossible to memorize multiple minutes
    of speech, note-taking is essential to convey the correct
    message.

    3. Whisper Interpreting
    Whisper interpreting can be compared to
    simultaneous interpreting, with the only
    difference that with this type of interpreting, the
    interpreter is not in a booth wearing
    headphones, but is sitting next to the person or
    persons that they interpret for. While the source
    language speaker is talking, they quietly talk
    into the target speaker’s ear.

    4. Scheduled Telephone Interpreting

    This type of interpreting can be both


    consecutive and simultaneous. One aspect is
    fixed, however; the interpreter is not physically
    present in the room, but translates via telephone.
