simultaneous interpretation

Simultaneous interpretation is the real-time translation of spoken language from one language to another during conversations, speeches, or meetings. The interpreter listens to the speaker and translates their words almost instantly, usually through specialized equipment like headsets and microphones. This allows participants speaking different languages to understand each other seamlessly, without waiting for pauses or breaks. It’s commonly used in international conferences, diplomatic events, or global broadcasts to facilitate effective communication across language barriers smoothly and efficiently.
