INTERPRETATION

WHAT IS INTERPRETATION?

• Interpretation is an oral form of translation, enabling real-time cross-linguistic communication either face-to-face, in a conference setting or over the phone. It can also be called oral translation, real-time translation or personal translation. This is the process where a person repeats what is said out loud in a different language. (SOURCE)
