Abstract or Introduction
Interpretation is of two types: simultaneous and consecutive. The term ‘simultaneous interpretation’ is self-explanatory. In it, the interpreter speaks simultaneously, translating to the target language while listening to the original message in the source language. In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter listens to chunks of the message in the original language and interprets at intervals. For this, the interpreter may either take notes (in notations or short forms) so that long passages may be interpreted accurately, or may rely on memory to interpret shorter messages.
