Language interpretation is the facilitating of oral or sign-language communication, either simultaneously or consecutively, between two parties of different languages. An interpreter is a person who converts a thought or expression in a source language into an expression with a comparable meaning in a target language either simultaneously in 'real time' or consecutively after one party has finished speaking.
The interpreter's function is to convey every semantic element (tone and register) and every intention and feeling of the message that the source-language speaker is directing to target-language recipients.
Simultaneous Interpreting is where the interpreter conveys the source language into the target language as the speaker is talking. Frequently employed for larger groups (i.e. international conferences), simultaneous interpreting often requires significant preparation.
Consecutive Interpreting is when the interpreter begins his or her interpreting after the speaker has finished a complete message. Once the interpreting has been completed, the speaker will begin again. This is the typical form of interpreting for job interviews, medical consultations etc.
Please Note: a ‘Polish Interpreter’ is often referred to as a ‘Polish Translator’.
