What Exactly Do Interpreters Do?
Interpreters translate spoken content from one language to another. This can be done either simultaneously—meaning they interpret in real-time as the speaker talks—or consecutively, where they wait until the speaker has finished. Examples of simultaneous interpreting include EU Parliament sessions or TV interviews with athletes after a game. Interpreters are commonly used at international conferences, corporate events, and meetings. They also play a crucial role in training sessions, (factory) tours, client meetings, and various committee discussions, whether the event is held in person or online.
When Are Interpreters Needed?
Interpreters are essential whenever at least one participant in a conversation does not have sufficient proficiency in the spoken language to fully engage in the discussion. Their presence fosters trust and transparency. Even though English often serves as a common language in international settings, interpreters are crucial in specialized contexts to ensure that speakers and listeners can focus on the content rather than the language barrier.
When Might Interpreters Not Be Necessary?
There are situations where the use of interpreters is deliberately avoided. For example, this might occur when an event is conducted in English and it’s assumed that the audience has sufficient experience to follow the conversation in a foreign language. Deciding whether to use interpreters can be challenging, as self-assessment of language skills is often based on general conversation scenarios and may not translate well to professional contexts. Experienced interpreters can provide valuable advice during the planning phase, helping organizers determine if and how interpreting services should be utilized. The effectiveness of interpreting can often be gauged by the level of audience participation. Additionally, feedback from final discussions or satisfaction surveys can reveal how much the interpreting services truly benefited the participants.
