Simultaneous interpretation, which may still be unfamiliar to many people, but the scene of leaders wearing headphones at international conferences may not be unfamiliar, this is simultaneous interpretation. With the increase of global economic integration and international communication and cooperation, the role of simultaneous interpretation has become increasingly important. In addition to the high requirements for interpreters, the requirements for simultaneous interpretation device can also not be ignored. Today, we will explore the principles and classification of simultaneous interpretation device together.
Simultaneous Interpretation Device Principles
Traditional simultaneous interpretation principles: There are usually two closed small rooms at the back of the venue, similar to telephone booths, with transparent glass in front to see the inside of the venue. Interpreters wear headphones and have microphones in front of them. They can hear the speaker's speech through headphones, then translate it into another language in real time and pass it to the audience through the microphone.
Bilingual simultaneous interpretation: Participants use devices with two channels, one receives the original sound, and the other receives the translated voice. In multilingual scenarios such as the European Union, multiple language translations may be needed, which then involves relay translation. Generally, the original language is translated into English or French first, and interpreters of other languages listen to this version and then translate it into their target language.
What are the Specific Simultaneous Interpretation Device
Simultaneous interpretation device: It is an indispensable system device for high-level international conference simultaneous translation. Through this device, it ensures that the speaker's speech is simultaneously translated into the designated target language while the speech is being delivered, and then transmitted to the attending representatives through another audio channel. Participants can choose the language channel they understand. There are 4 channel, 8 channel, 16 channel, 32 channel and other different specifications of simultaneous interpretation device, each channel transmits one language.
Transmission principles classification: Simultaneous interpretation device can be divided into wired and wireless types according to the transmission principle. Wired devices are mostly used in fixed conference venues, with disadvantages of inconvenience and difficult rental, and have been phased out of the market before 2010. Wireless simultaneous interpretation device can be further divided into frequency modulation(fixed frequency) type and infrared type.
Frequency modulation(fixed frequency) type and infrared type: Frequency modulation(fixed frequency) type is more affected by interference and has less than ideal sound quality, and is now less commonly seen in the market. In contrast, infrared simultaneous interpretation device is a more popular choice, using infrared transmission signals, with more stable results and higher confidentiality. With the continuous development of infrared technology, the effects of different frequency infrared devices are also different.
Simultaneous interpretation device plays an irreplaceable role in international conferences. By understanding its principles and classification, we can better understand its operation in cross-language communication.
