INTERPRETATION SERVICES

Consecutive interpretation involves a pause in language conversion. The client speaks in the source language, pausing at the end of each sentence or thought. When the speaker pauses or finishes speaking, the interpreter then renders a portion of the message or the entire message in the target language. This process is repeated until the project is complete. This mode is typically utilized for interviews of non-English speakers.

Simultaneous interpretation involves rendering the message in the target-language as quickly as the interpreter can formulate it from the source language while the source-language speaker continuously speaks. The interpreter translates the speaker’s words while the speaker is still speaking. When using simultaneous interpretation, there are no interruptions, resulting in a smooth, continuous interpretation. Typically, the simultaneous interpretation is rendered to the target-language listeners via an earphone or headset.

A certified interpreter provides consecutive and/or simultaneous interpretations and has successfully completed the federal or state court interpreter examination(s).

Duties: The Interpreter converts spoken statements from one language to another in various settings. This involves listening to, understanding content, then converting statements into the target language. The Interpreter interprets accurately and completely and is knowledgeable of subject matter and interpreter protocol. The Interpreter understands almost all forms and styles of speech pertinent to professional needs as well as general topics and social conversation. The

Interpreter comprehends sociolinguistic and cultural references as well as technical discussions and discourse.

Qualifications: At a minimum, the Interpreter shall possess:

language from an English-speaking college or university, English from a college or language were prerequisites or equivalent experience.

English and the other languages, or a combination of work (that required English and

b. Proficiency in the appropriate foreign language as required.

c. An excellent command of the English language with the ability to provide clear and concise oral communication.

d. Consecutive interpreters must have successfully completed a course of study related to the skills required to perform consecutive interpretation in an official setting.

Simultaneous interpreters must have successfully completed formal training in the field of Simultaneous Interpretation.

e. State, federal and other certifications and language proficiency qualifications as required.

f. The task of interpretation has varied requirements and skill levels depending on the assignment. At a minimum, Metropolitan requires that all Interpreters have the ability to speak the language with sufficient structural accuracy and vocabulary to participate effectively in most formal and informal conversations on practical, social and professional topics. More experienced and seasoned Interpreters are required to demonstrate a skill level of conversation equal to a highly articulate well-educated native speaker, which reflects the cultural standards of the country where the language is natively spoken.
