Simultaneous translation services
Simultaneous translation consists in the fact that the translator processes the text in real time. That is, while the speech of the speaker is taking place. The translation of the speech is provided immediately with minimal delays. That is why it is called synchronous.
In this case, specialists need to be able to listen to the speech, perceive any accents and pronunciations of the speakers, as well as be able to mentally translate the text quickly and provide a high-quality translation in just a few seconds.
What is simultaneous translation?
Simultaneous interpretation should in no case be confused with oral interpretation. This is a more complex procedure that requires increased concentration. Specialists with special education and experience are involved in it. Synchronists can:
- for a long time (from two hours or longer) to concentrate on what the speaker is saying;
- quickly process his speech;
- immediately translate the text without additional adaptation and changes.
Translation takes place without any pauses. That is, the specialist immediately issues a translation of the speaker’s speech, which requires special skills: quick perception, high concentration, and the ability to quickly convey a text of any style/format/complexity, etc.
Synchronist services are relevant at a number of events where foreign speakers are invited or, on the contrary, Ukrainian specialists who will deliver speeches for foreign visitors. These are mainly conferences, seminars, as well as business negotiations.
How the cost of simultaneous translation is formed
You can often hear that simultaneous interpretation is quite expensive. This is true – the price of 1 hour of work by 2 translators ranges from UAH 3,500-4,500. The final cost of the service will depend on the style of the speech, from which and into which language the translation will be required, etc.
Such a high cost is explained by the complexity of the process, including organizational aspects. After all, in order to carry out simultaneous translation, it is necessary to timely deliver and install, as well as configure professional equipment. In addition, the work should be performed by at least 2 translators – one specialist will not be able to cope with the simultaneous analysis of the text and may lose the speaker’s opinion.
So, when you pay for the service, you also pay for:
- organizational work;
- translation from two or more synchronists;
- temporary rental of microphones, headphones and other equipment.
