Interpretation Task

Context:
- It can (typically) be performed in real-time as Simultaneous Interpretation, where the interpreter translates the source language concurrently with the speaker.
- It can (often) be conducted as Consecutive Interpretation, where the interpreter waits for the speaker to pause before translating the spoken content.
- It can be utilized in various settings such as international conferences, diplomatic meetings, and multilingual events.
- It can require high proficiency in both the source and target languages, as well as specialized knowledge of the subject matter.
- It can contribute to effective communication in multilingual environments, ensuring accurate and immediate translation of spoken words.
Example(s):

Counter-Example(s):

- Interpreting is a translational activity in which one produces a first and final target-language output on the basis of a one-time exposure to an expression in a source language.
  The most common two modes of interpreting are simultaneous interpreting, which is done at the time of the exposure to the source language, and consecutive interpreting, which is done at breaks to this exposure.
  Interpreting is an ancient human activity which predates the invention of writing.
