Differences between
Translation and
Interpretation

The difference between Translation


and Interpretation is the mode of
expression; Translation is written and
Interpretation is spoken. The
difference in skills, training, aptitude
and even language knowledge in
these two closely related linguistic
disciplines are so substantial that few
people can do both successfully on a
professional level.
(Language Scientific, n.d.)
What is Language
Interpretation?

• Language Interpretation is the


facilitating of “oral” or “sign-language
communication”, either simultaneously
or consecutively, between users of
different languages.

C. Llanes (n.d)
INTERPRETATION
Interpreting denotes the facilitating of communication from
one language form into its equivalent, or approximate
equivalent, in another language form; while …
Interpretation denotes the actual product of this work, that is,
the message thus rendered into speech, sign language,
writing, non-manual signals, or another language form. This
important distinction is observed in order to avoid confusion.
• C. Llanes (n.d)
INTERPRETER

• Interpreter is a person who provides


an oral translation between speakers
of different languages.
• Team Interpreting (TI) is defined as
the use of more than one interpreter
to provide communication effectively
to and from all participants.
ATA Chronicle (2006)
Simultaneous: In simultaneous mode, interpreters sit in sound-proof booths and
listen to the speaker through headphones. Using a microphone interpreters deliver a
running interpretation to meeting participants.

Consecutive: In consecutive mode, the interpreter sits at the conference table


together with the speakers, takes notes, and delivers the speaker’s statement after the
speaker has paused.

Whispering (chuchotage): In whispering mode, interpreters simultaneously whisper


the interpretation directly to a very limited audience.
