What is the difference between translation and interpretation?
|
 |
Interpreting.. the verbal "transfer" of information
between languages. There are several forms of interpreting and it is completely separate from translation - a whole different
range of skills are required in interpretation.
Consecutive interpretation:- 1)One
party says a sentence in his/her language 2)The interpreter "transfers" what has been said into the other speaker's language. And
so on.
Commonly used in interviews, meetings etc.
Simultaneous interpretation:- The interpreter
is interpreting what is being said as it is being said without pause.
Commonly used in court, recounting of events,
conferences, focus groups, community/condominium meetings
Liaison/Ad Hoc interpreting:- This is where it is not essential that every piece of information is interpreted, perhaps enough of what is being said
to get the "gist" of the conversation or selected parts thereof.
Commonly used during tours, exhibitions
and other informal events, where the participants have an understanding of the language but require clarification on certain
points etc.

Translation is the "transfer" of the written word from one language (the "source" language) into
another (the "target" language)
