Simultaneous Translation Helps Convey Meaning Better

By Freida Lamb


If you find yourself in need of simultaneous translation Miami has been companies that offer this service. There are many times when this type of assistance can come in handy. It is a form that is much more sophisticated than consecutive interpretation.

With consecutive interpretation, the person translates what a speaker is saying from that person's language into the language of the listener after the speaker has completed his or her thought. If it is not done simultaneously, there is always the chance that some words and meanings will literally get lost in the translation.

Also, when this is done in a simultaneous fashion, the listener is able to get a greater amount of benefit from the body language and expressions of the speaker. They will be able to feel more a part of the moment, for example, when a joke is heard right away rather than after the speaker has stopped laughing. When not in the moment, the words' intentions are more easily misunderstood.

This service can be useful for many business, educational or political events, among others. Speaking engagements of all types can use this kind of assistance. Words can be translated not just into other spoken languages but into sign language as well should this be necessary.

There are companies that focus on certain languages while others will have many different options available. In a city like Miami, a key is the ability to translate between Spanish and English. In a lot of these situations, it's not for events that it is needed but for more personal cases like legal proceedings or transactions.

Even if most or all of the audience are bilingual, technical terms such as those relating to the legal or scientific world may require simultaneous translation. Due to the difficult of this kind of work, it is typical to use more than just one interpreter so that, working together, you will be ensure of getting the highest quality results.
