FAQ

Interpreting is the art of orally translating spoken language from one language to another in real-time (simultaneous interpretation) or with a slight delay (consecutive interpretation). This is different from translation, which is a process that deals with written information instead. Interpreting, sometimes also referred to as “live translation”, requires formal training in the techniques and skills needed to accurately relay all information. As an Italian interpreter, I facilitate communication between individuals or groups who don’t speak the same language but need to reach a common goal. To do this, I rely on a deep understanding of both languages and cultures to convey meaning, not just mere words.

Simultaneous interpreting is an extremely demanding task, that quickly degrades cognitive performance: simply put, the brain can’t cope for long as it has to juggle too many things! Working in pairs, simultaneous interpreters take turns and share the workload, ensuring accuracy and reducing fatigue.

Research and lived experience suggest that the ideal “switch-over” point is around the 20-minute mark, depending on different factors (speaker, technical set-up, speech complexity, topic, etc…).
