Do you know the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpretation?

Nowadays, it is common to see large events, such as the Olympics,use interpreters for official pronouncements in different languages I'm sorry. Congresses and conferences that receive international speakers also need to be accessible to all audiences. Therefore, the interpretation service is fundamental. But did you know that there are different types of interpretation? One of them is simultaneous interpretation..

The practice of interpreting is old, the first time electronic equipment was used in a simultaneous interpretation was in the Nuremberg Trials,a series of military courts that judged members of the Nazi leadership between November 20, 1945 and October 1, 1946. At the time, four languages were interpreted: French,, Russian,, German and English. Since then, he has been convinced in simultaneous interpretation: an interpreter translates the speaker's speech simultaneously, thus, the participants of the event attend the presentation and listen to the information in real time, through headphones. The practice has become very common and is used in various contexts.

Consecutive interpretation is a modality that does not make use of electronic materials. In this case, the speaker speaks while the interpreter, who acts with discretion, only listens, when the speaker finishes, the interpreter transmits the translated content to people who do not understand the language. This modality is best suited for events with a reduced group of people, such as formal meetings with foreign clients, meetings between international authorities and official ceremonies.
