Simply being bilingual doesnt qualify someone to interpret. Interpreting is not only a mechanical process of
converting one sentence in language A into the same sentence in language B. Rather, its a complex art in
which thoughts and idioms that have no obvious counterparts from tongue to tongue _ or words that have
several meanings must be quickly transformed in such a way that the message is clearly and accurately
expressed to the listener.
At one international conference, an American speaker said, “You cant make a silk purse out of a sows ear”,
which meant nothing to the Spanish audience. The interpretation was, “A monkey in a silk dress is still a
monkey” _ an idiom the Spanish understood and that expressed the same idea.
There are 2 kinds of interpreters, simultaneous and consecutive. The former, sitting in a separated booth,
usually at a large multilingual conference, speaks to listeners wearing headphones, interpreting what a
foreign language speaker says _ actually a sentence behind. Consecutive interpreters are the ones most
international negotiations use. They are employed for smaller meetings without sound booths and
headphones. Consecutive interpretation also requires two-person teams. A foreign speaker says his piece
while the interpreter, using a special shorthand, takes notes and during a pause, tells the client what was
said.
