Qualities Of A Great Simultaneous Interpreter

By Paul Stewart


Instantaneous interpretation is the facilitating of a speech from a specific language to another dialect while maintaining the actual meaning. The translator acts as an intermediate between two parties. In most states, the profession of conference interpretation is not legally regulated. It is therefore important to note that not every translator you meet in town will be a great simultaneous interpreter for your conference.

It is sometimes important to research on the best professional you would wish to hire for your conference as an interpreter. Hiring a qualified professional for your conference meeting is the key to gain more credibility. Try to research on the various agencies from where you can get a great translator. Some of the categories may include interpretation agencies, professional conference organizers, convention centers as well as translation agencies.

A well-qualified professional for your conference must always have an extensive understanding of customs, cultures, traditions, as well as history of prevailing events. Different people in your audience may have different language knowledge. The professional should thus remain clear in his interpretation process and be maintain the desired meaning in all the local dialects that are required by the client.

A proficient translator for your conference should always have some experience on handling the most technical subjects on your meeting. He or she should have worked as an interpreter for a good period. A well skilled translator who has undertaken different subject matters may not find it difficult in handling any subject on your conference and maintain maximum concentration over the desired time.

Due to the diversity of cultures, a good translator should be in a position to understand a number of cultural aspects. Some cultures are more sensitive than others are. The professional must thus be fully skilled in delivering the most sensitive information to the audience in the most suitable way possible. This is because different individuals have different understanding of any given context. The translator should respect the different cultures of the individuals in that presentation.

Not all meetings that require interpretation are the same. In addition, the meetings do not demand the same aptitude from interpreters. A translator needed for an executive meeting should always be flexible, discreet, as well as diplomatic. A medical meeting will need an interpreter who is able to work at high speed when it comes to technology. Choose a professional who will fit in your conference in the best way possible.

Some presentation tasks need maximum collaboration. This will enhance the kind of information the audience will be getting from the presenter. This can be achieved if you choose an expert who has a good attitude towards interpretation and understanding of your theme of your presentation. The translator should always respect your presentation and try to blend in that entire presentation to acquire the anticipated goals.

Every speaker has his or her own ethics and secrets. The translators should thus be able to uphold the confidentiality required by a speaker. In most cases, the speaker will give the translator a lot of information that is confidential and maintaining such information during and after the meeting will be necessary. Maintaining all the ethics and rules of language translation is very important. This distinguishes proficient translators from unworthy interpreters.
