\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInterpreters sit in a soundproof booth and simultaneously (concurrently) translate the speaker's speech into the target languages. \nSimultaneous interpreters should be hired for larger events, conferences with two or more languages, \nor conferences where the time delay caused by consecutive interpreting is too long. \nSince simultaneous interpreting requires high concentration, interpreters must be able to rotate every 20 to 30 minutes. \nTherefore, a sufficient number of interpreters must be available.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In consecutive interpreting, the translation is provided with a delay after the original speech. \nConsecutive interpreting is the appropriate form of interpretation for relatively short speeches (e.g. table talks) \nor negotiations where the presence of the interpreter in the negotiation room is required. \nIn consecutive interpreting, the duration of the event is roughly doubled per target language compared to simultaneous interpreting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In whispered interpreting, the interpreter speaks at the same time as the speaker but does not use any special technical equipment. Whispered interpreting is suitable for very small groups, such as factory tours, but cannot replace simultaneous interpreting, as the original speaker and interpreter speak simultaneously in the same room, thus creating unavoidable distractions. Since whispered interpreting requires the same or greater concentration than simultaneous interpreting, two interpreters per target language are also required for longer events.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Hire conference interpreters<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSince the professional title of interpreter is not protected, great care should be taken when hiring conference interpreters. \nQualified conference interpreters are generally freelancers who work based on contracts with the client.\nFor the organizer, it is usually beneficial to hire an experienced conference interpreter (consulting conference interpreter) \nfor the assignment of the interpreter team. The consulting interpreter knows how many interpreters are needed, \nprovides a cost estimate, and hires the interpreters on behalf of the client according to the requirements of the event. \nA consulting interpreter is also familiar with the technical requirements for interpreting and can take care of or assist with \nthe procurement of simultaneous interpreting equipment. They are the main contact for the organizer regarding any interpreting-related questions \nand act as the liaison to the interpreter team. PBLS is happy to assist you with all these matters.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Planning the interpreting assignment<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A consulting interpreter should be involved in the planning of an international event as early as possible. \nThey can advise the organizer on the planned event schedule from an interpreting perspective \nand, if necessary, help prevent unnecessary costs from arising at this stage.
Conference interpreters should be hired as early as possible (possibly several weeks before an event). \nSince the number of qualified interpreters in Germany is limited, bottlenecks often occur during conference-heavy months in spring and autumn, \nor for rare languages.
For events with simultaneous interpreting, the number of interpreters required and the composition of the team depend on the number of conference languages, \nthe number of parallel sessions, the duration of the sessions, and the complexity of the topic. \nInterpreter teams should be organized in such a way that all languages can be directly interpreted into all target languages, \nand interpreters do not have to interpret a previously translated text into another language indirectly (via relay).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Interpreting and conference technology<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Interpreting equipment must comply with ISO\/DIS 2603 (for fixed booths) or 4043 (for portable booths). \nThe conference technology must meet the ENV standard 50185-1 or the CEI standard 914.
The booths should be arranged so that the interpreters have a good view of the speakers and all projection screens. The speaker's gestures and facial expressions, as well as any images projected, are just as important for the interpreter as they are for the listener. Screens or monitors are at best a visual supplement, but not a substitute for direct vision.
Films and similar presentations can only be interpreted if the interpreter has seen the script before the event and the sound is transmitted perfectly into the booth.
For copyright reasons, recording interpreted texts generally requires the prior consent of the interpreters and is generally not part of the contracts concluded with the interpreters.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The preparation of the event<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Interpreters must prepare for the specific topics of the event. To do this, they need background material such as information about the organizer and other participating organizations, the program, agenda, possibly minutes of previous events, the schedule, and generally all documentation available to participants.
Participant lists and, where available, terminology databases, for example with the official translations of names and bodies of organizations, should also be available to the interpreters before the event.
To the extent that speeches and discussion contributions are prepared in writing by the speakers, they should be made available to the interpreters for familiarization.
It is sometimes also advisable to brief the interpreters beforehand and have them participate in speaker meetings.
Conference interpreters are obliged to treat all information confidentially.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Speaker<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Speakers should be encouraged by the event organizer to submit their manuscripts as early as possible, but no later than two weeks before the event, for distribution to the interpreters. It is helpful to indicate on the script whether it is a final spoken version, a draft, or whether the speaker intends to speak extemporaneously. Significant changes to spoken texts should be communicated to the interpreters at the venue. Regardless of whether a speaker speaks extemporaneously or reads from a text, an appropriate speaking pace is important. For texts interpreted from English into German, for example, the interpreted version is often longer than the original and requires more time. Eye contact between speaker and interpreter is beneficial.
Simultaneous interpreting is only possible if the speakers speak into a switched-on microphone, as simultaneous interpreting booths are soundproof. Speakers who move away from the lectern during their presentation should use a lapel microphone. The organizer should ensure that a person in the hall is specifically responsible for ensuring that the technical equipment is functioning properly.
Numbers and proper nouns should be pronounced particularly clearly. Abbreviations should be avoided, or at least explained when they first appear. Quotations, proverbs, and puns can lighten up a speech, but are often difficult to translate into another language.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

End of the event<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOnce an event has concluded, a debriefing of the interpreting assignment is recommended. The interaction between the interpreter and the client can provide insights into any necessary improvements, allowing the quality to be continuously improved to the client's greater satisfaction. Therefore, a brief post-conference meeting with the consultant interpreter can be beneficial.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
