SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETATION
Both simultaneous and consecutive interpretation represent the highest quality forms of communication between people speaking different languages. The Association of Court Interpreters of the Republic of Srpska, in cooperation with professional agencies,
provides simultaneous interpretation for all types of international gatherings, such as congresses, conferences, seminars, presentations, lectures and business meetings. In the course of simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter
interprets the speaker’s words almost at the same time as the speaker speaks, but with a delay of several seconds. This type of interpretation requires special equipment in order to ensure that interpretation proceeds smoothly.
Namely, simultaneous interpretation is conducted in a sound-proof booth, and it requires the interpreter’s intensive attention and focus, because the interpreter simultaneously listens, analyses the contents, anticipates what has
not been said yet and interprets what is said into the target language. For that reason, there are always two or three interpreters in the booth, doing the interpretation in turn.
One simultaneous interpreter is able to interpret for 30 minutes at the most without a break. The simultaneous interpreter listens to the speaker via earphones in a sound-proof booth, and simultaneously interprets into the target language by speaking
into a microphone. The daily working norm of a simultaneous interpreter is six to eight hours at the most. Although it is considered the most demanding type of interpretation, the advantage of simultaneous interpretation is that
it saves time, because the interpretationproceeds simultaneously with the original speech and the course of action is not slowed down. For simultaneous interpretation it is of utmost importance for simultaneous interpreters to
know in advance the date of the event and the duration of interpretation, to be informed of the terminology to be used during the event in a timely manner, as well as to be provided with the necessary material in order to get prepared
for simultaneous interpretation to the greatestextent possible. We provide simultaneous interpretation for all world languages.
